php include a cgi with variable

[Anon]

in html i can ssi and run a cgi with this

<!--#include virtual="blah.cgi?variable=function -->

using a php how can I get the same effect, i know it doesn't work but something like

<?php
include ("blah.cgi?variable=function");
?>

i think it's easy enough to understand, anyone know?

thanks!
