From: "mailing" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I have a multiuser web based image managment application (the Perl script) and I want to add some accounting scripts (to be written in php). The guy that wrote the perl script is unavailable to work it in the perl script due to time constraints - so I was wondering if I can pass the variables - such as invoice amounts, the username (from the cookie) the image numbers that the invoice numbers relate to from the cgi into the perl script then into a mysql database. > > Any more help.....Will virtual() do this sort of thing?
Sounds like you want your Perl application to call a bit of PHP and pass PHP some variables. I was thinking of the other way around, PHP calling Perl. This is possible, though, I just don't know the Perl syntax to call a PHP file or make an HTTP request. Basically, you just want your Perl script to call a URL such as: accounting.php?amount=xx&number=xx&foo=bar Then the PHP script can grab the URL variables and save them in the database. The same cookies available to the Perl script will be available to the PHP script (providing they're both on the same domain). Your PHP script wouldn't need to output anything, just do it's saving and then exit. Once you figure out the Perl -> PHP bit, this should be easy (although it's a bad hack, overall!) ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
