system() problem

Hello Forum,

I have a small problem. I want to execute a perl Script via PHP. I try it with system ('cgi-bin/test.pl');

No problem, it works. But now I want to give the perl script some arguments. e.g.

test.pl?name=Schultz&age=12

I tried it as follows:

system('cgi-bin/test.pl name=Schultz&age=12');

It doesn´t work. Why??? The scripts needs the variables.

Does anyone why it is not working????

Thanks
Ronny

Have you tried executing it HTTP style?
system("cgi-bin/test.pl?name=Schultz&age=12'");

If so, what was the result? What error do you get, if any, either way?

Hi Mordecai,

thanks for your message. So tried it as follows:

system("cgi-bin/test.pl Name=Schultz&Vorname=JACK");

The script will be executed, but the variables Name and Vorname not.

There is no error-message because the script is working.

Thanks
Ronny
