run executable file

[dhart23746]

I'm a newbie to PHP, so I apologize ahead of time. Please be gentle.

I want to write a php program that calls a cgi script to automatically update my webpage.

I have tried to following, but it doesn't work I know, however, that the cgi script does work.

<?php
shell_exec("http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-rebuild.cgi -all")
?>

Any ideas?

if you want your site to update automaticly in a periodic manner (ie: every hour,day,week...?)

you can just setup a crontab which lets you specify a script to run every hour or whatever you specify...
