I believe include() will only work if the CGI script is written in PHP.
You should be able to extract the results of a foreign script by running
passthru() or system().
For example if I wanted to print out a listing of all the files in a
directory.
<?
// Command to print out my public html directory.
$cmd = 'ls /home/www -l';
// Display the result as plain text, not html.
header('Content-type: text/plain');
// Loop to echo the result line by line.
while($line = system($cmd))
{
if ($line == flase){break;) // break if function returns false.
else {echo $line . '\n';} // print the line.
}
?>
You can use the optional input to pass a CGI script some variables. I
don't use the command line very often so I don't know the proper system
command to execute a script. I imagine it's 'run' or 'execute' or
something like that. But I'm sure it's possible.

Subject: RE: [PHP] configuration problem?
btw, the reason i want to use include() is that i have a cgi script
under
the same directory structure but i don't want to use exec() since this
command can't execute the cgi well enough (for one thing, the cgi script
doesn't work well when i include "use warnings;" or create an
object)....
and including the cgi script won't execute it so this won't work.
i'm thinking of including the cgi script via http like:
include ('http://www.myurl.com/hello.cgi')
but the browser keeps on loading the page and returns a blank page
eventually.
contrastly, including a cgi script from other domains works just fine.

Subject: [PHP] configure problem?
hi,
got a question on the usage of include:
when i do something like this:
<? include('http://www.myurl.com'); ?>
where my php file is located under the same directory structure of
www.my.url.com, the browse seems keep on loading until it returns a
blank
page. does this mean that php can't include any file located in the same
directory structure of itself? or is it more like a configuration
problem?
here's my configure command from phpinfo(), if this helps:
'./configure'
'--prefix=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.2c2.1-i686/php-4.0.5'
'--with-apache=/workplace/dpd/btp/apache_1.3.20' '--enable-bcmath'
'--with-config-file-path=/opt/third-party/depot/Linux-2.2c2.1-i686/php-4
.0.5
/lib' '--enable-exif' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-calendar=shared'
'--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-trans-sid'
'--enable-wddx' '--enable-ftp' '--with-ldap'
thank you!
