how to execute a php script from a cgi?

[dahlia]

Hello all,

I have already posted this question on the newbies section, but I have been told there that this is not a simple question, so I am trying here.
I have a problem that I cannot bypass.
I have to output the content of a php page (the result of it) from a cgi/perl script. Is it possible to get php statements/files executed from a cgi script before printing them to STDOUT?

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks a lot

Here is a small example, but I do not take care of the content whih is returned by PHP script. It tries only whether the PHP file is accessable.

You have to install some PERL packages HTTP, LWP and few others. I can send you whole list of them.

require HTTP::Request;
require LWP::UserAgent;

$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'http://192.168.1.100/iExpress/processor.php'
);

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$response = $ua->request($request);
if ($response->is_success) {
} else {
  if ( -e '/tmp/httpd.down' ) {
  } else {
    $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'mailto:[e-mail]');
    $req->header(Subject => "\@Fast error");
    $req->content($response->as_string);
    $res = $ua->request($req);
    open(OUTPUT,">/tmp/httpd.down") or die "Nemohu otevrit vystup";
    print(OUTPUT "Down");
    close(OUTPUT);
  }
};

Thank you, Zdenek.

I tried it but I can't get any output ftom my php page.
I have a "success" value in $response, but nothing is sent to the browser. I tried it on my Apache server which should have a complete perl installation.

Any idea?

Thank you

Try to print $response->content variable. It should contain the output.
