SSI calls in php pages?

[LastActionHero]

I want to execute a cgi script in php pages...is this possible?

SSI calls that i want to use

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/script.cgi" -->

or

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/script.cgi" -->

Is this possible?

no but i think you use <? php include="" ?>
i think that is the code and if you wanted you could include a .shtml page with that code in it.

Try looking up system or something like that.

Including the .shtml page is a good idea, I'll try that.

You have to execute the script, so you have use the perl command from the terminal prompt, meaning the PHP equivalent of C++'s system("");

OK i'll search for that, if you find something let me know.

To do SSI calls in php pages use virtual(" ") instead of include(" ") and it will work

You know if that's like a general rule?

I'm confused...What's your question?

So virtual() is basically the equivalent of LWP's getprint() in Perl? :confused2

I mean if one can assume that it always works like that (or has it to do with where you host).

 

[LastActionHero]

Yup, it's always works, it's a built in function just like include.

Oki. Thanks Mr. lah.
