[Resolved] exec() + variable

[foxroberts]

Hi.

I use exec() to combine a perlscript with php which works fine unless I try to pass a variable to this script. But that's what I am trying to do.

exec("script.cgi $var"); and $_SERVER['argv'] doesn't seem to work...

Any ideas?! Thank you very much for any hint.

Either single quote it or escape the variable within the double-quotes... Either of the two methods I have below here should work for you...

<?php
exec('script.cgi $var');
exec("script.cgi ".$var."");
?>

Thank you for your quick reply!

I found the problem in the PERL script.
Now I use: @ARGV[0] to get the passed variable
and it works fine.

Good to hear you got it working... Be sure to mark this thread resolved.
