[TriLUG] PHP parsing from CGI script

[Joseph Tate]

I think I get what you're trying to do, finally.  If you were running 
your own box, I would say it would be possible using the commandline 
version of php piped through your CGI script, however as you are not (as 
I now realize) it may not be possible.  You should be able to rewrite 
the php script as part of the perl script.  Either that or rewrite the 
cgi script as a PHP script.  You may be able to contact your hosting 
support and ask there (what to ask for is if the command line version of 
PHP is available and see 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php for info on how to 
use it).  Otherwise check http://lists.php.net , subscribe to the 
php-general list and post your question there.  You may also have some 
luck using the 
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html object HTML 
element to call your php script with GET variables.  Sorry I can't be 
more help.

Don't give out your username/password like that.  There are bad people 
out there that will take advantage of it.  If you haven't changed your 
password, do it NOW!  The trilug mailing list is archived, so anyone who 
reads that can make use of your password, and conceivably do terrible 
things with it.
