If you are running PHP as a Module (you should be) try the
http://php.net/virtual function.
If not, you can use exec(), but pass any vars the thing needs:
# Your CGI may be expecting command-line args or flags or...
# I presumed it was URL-style input.
exec("./cgi-bin/txtcounter.cgi?foo=$foo&bar=$bar", $results, $error);
while(list(,$line) = each($results)){
echo $line, "<BR>\n";
}
if ($error){
echo "txtcounter.cgi returned OS error $error. Usually
paths/permissions.<BR>\n";
}
