Need help with PHP & Perl

[Anon]

I need help!!!!!
I have a webapplication (in PHP) and I\'d like to intergrate Perl-Scripts, becuase Perl works much better with strings.

And so I\'d like to know, if there is any possibilty to execute a Perl-Script form PHP or execute a PHP-file from Perl without displaying a new <form>...

Execuse me, please. I am a German and my English is very bad...

Hi!

Your English is great. Not to slam a few people on this forum, but they even refuse to speak English :-)
Actually, PHP has all the utilities for working with text strings, including regular expressions (simple and posix-extended).

Below are some PHP commands that come to mind. You will need to properly escape strings passed to these functions, etc, because consequences may be dire.

string exec (string command [, string array [, int return_var]])

string system (string command [, int return_var])

Hope this helps,
Stas

Thanks a lot, Stanislav!
I\'m going to try that, but one thing:
Perl has functions like the =~ operator, that makes it possible to do lots of things with the string with only one line of Code.
In PHP it\'s not so easy.

e.g. Do you know the encoding function ROT13? (ROT13 is often used in newsgroups)
With Perl you need only one short line of code to encode a string with ROT13.
With PHP you need 5 lines or more.

PS: Thanks for the compliment
