Running an external CGI Perl script in PHP 5

[papayiya]

Hi,

I'm trying to run an external perl script from another server in PHP 5.
I've tried using file_get_contents() but when I do, I get the following error:

Warning: file_get_contents($url): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

Then I went and got a hand-made PEAR version of file_get_contents:

function fgc($url) {

$url = str_replace("http://","",$url);
$url = str_replace("https://","",$url);

$urlComponents = explode("/",$url);
$domain = $urlComponents[0];
$resourcePath = str_replace($domain,"",$url);

$socketConnection = fsockopen($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr);

if (!$socketConnection) {
	echo "<!-- Network error: $errstr ($errno) -->";
}
else {
	$xml = '';
	fputs($socketConnection, "GET /$resourcePath HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $domain\r\n\r\n");

	while (!feof($socketConnection)) {
		$xml .= fgets($socketConnection, 128);
	}
	fclose ($socketConnection);
}  
   return($xml);
}

When I run fgc($url) to run the code above, I get this error:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2006 06:44:46 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) Content-Length: 2044 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html

Does anyone have any idea how to make perl cgi scripts (residing on another server) run in PHP 5?

Take a look at fputs above, is that correct for a perl script?

Thanks

I guess I don't really know what you expect from this.

Is it really possible for php to include Perl code?

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

In other words, the server you're connecting to is choking when it tries to process your request.
