Of course. Btw... You aren't running into a PHP limitation. You're experiencing an issue of programming design and how to integrate different technologies. If anything, Apache is what's limiting you, because of the order of presedence in how it processes files.
>From what you've said, you want the order of processing to flow like this: CGI/PERL => PHP => SSI => HTML => End-User . . . If I had a CGI script outputing PHP/SSI code that needed to be processed, I'd probably grab it using fopen and run it through eval. For fun, let's start a PHP vs PERL discussion. PHP doesn't have the overhead of spawning and forking the additional processes associated with running CGI scripts. That makes PHP faster. As I understand, PHP has all the functionality of PERL, but in a way that's more integrated with the web server. I also believe PHP has functionality lacking in PERL, but I don't know PERL well enough to make this claim myself - anyone care to elaborate on this? Basically, web development is fairly specific. PERL may be a very good language, but PHP is superior in the area of web development. Anyone else have feedback on which is better and why? -Ed -----Original Message----- PHP more powerful than Perl?? I disagree violently of course. And since this is a -HUGE- perlscript which is pretty advanced, having to re-code it in PHP just because PHP can't have it parsed the way I want to seems like a drag. **************************************************************************** This message is intended for the sole use of the individual and entity to whom it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
