Executing CGI/Perl within PHP

[ryza_]

Hello,

i just wanna know how toexecute a cgi script in a php script, like you would do with an SSI Tag in a SHTML File, i have tried the following.

<?php
// method 1
exec('./cgi-bin/le/link.cgi > /dev/null');
// method 2
exec('/var/www/html/cgi-bin/le/link.cgi > /dev/null');
// method 3
exec('./cgi-bin/le/link.cgi');
// method 4
exec('/var/www/html/cgi-bin/le/link.cgi');
?>

none of them work. if anyone knows how to do this please share.

a simple solution will be:

<?php
$return = exec('/usr/local/bin/perl /var/www/html/cgi-bin/le/link.cgi > /dev/null');
echo "Testing: $return";
?>
