Can PHP solve this?

Anon

I was wondering if anyone could solve this with a bit of PHP.

I wish to run some 'templates' through a perl module without having to pass variables within the URL.

At the moment, say I want to run the 'processed page' www.mysite.com/mytemplate.php, I have to pass this link within the URL that calls the page.

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/apexec.pl?template=mytemplate.php

Can I insert a simple PHP script in the beginning of the page, that will run the page through the module and output the same page as if I was passing it through the above URL, if my link to the page is just

http://www.mysite.com/mytemplate.php

Just to add: -

The problem I have is that the template that needs to be called is the page itself, so I need to break out of a loop once the page has been processed through the perl module.

I think if you look at session handling, that might help. What I do is use a session to stores a couple of variables (expiretime, validated, colorscheme, name, etc.) server side. The session is given a unique id, either as a cookie, or as part of the URL... 'http://www.mysite.com/mytemplate.php.SID'...

if you do this... you don't have to pass variables from page to page in hidden fields, and you also have integrity control on the things that you don't want a user to modify (i.e. expiretime, validated)
