virtual()...

ukndoit

I have been using the code:

virtual("somescript.cgi");

to "execute" a perl file and use the output of the perl file in the PHP file... successfully.

It has worked now for months, but all of a sudden I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: virtual() in /home/user/www/sys/inc/header.php on line 56

This is the code there:

virtual("/orderop.cgi?furl=1");

Do you know what would make that error? Could it be that "virtual()" requires a certain thing to be compiled into PHP? I have recently updated Apache, and had to rebuild the PHP script. Might that have something to do with it?

It is inside of the <?PHP tag at the top, and before the ?> at the bottom of the file... Or course that is obvious since the error is shown...

Anyhow thank you in advance for any assistance you may offer.

BTW, here is the version of PHP I am using:
php-4.3.8

That is the one Apache installed.

Thank you again,
Richard

Here is some more info on the server, from phpinfo.php

Configure Command './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--with-openssl' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--with-pgsql=/usr' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'

Server API CGI

Virtual Directory Support disabled

See anything lacking, or something that would cause this?
Thanks again,

Richard

php needs to be compiled as an apache module, meaning you need to build the dynamic shared object, libphp4.so, and use LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so in yoru apache httpd.conf file. you should configure php --with-apxs=[dir] in your configure command. see http://us4.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php for more on building apache and php.

Hmm, I had Apache install PHP for me, using Shell, actually using Cpanel's /scripts/buildapache...

I just had to go uncomment in the httpd.conf file the few fields that the link you gave me said to add, they were already there, so I did not have to add them, just uncomment them.

It works now, again. Thank you much!!
