Thanks in advance Pushpinder Singh I don't know E-Cart at all, but I'm sure it's possible. If it's database driven, displaying your products with php would be easy. However, moving from the php side of the site to the Perl cart may cause headaches (cookies, sessions, cart contents, etc.). You may be better off using a shopping cart which is built in PHP, like X-Cart or Squirrelcart. Ugh...stay away from Squirrelcart. Works ok on its own but if you ever want to do something in it...it's nearly impossible to read and modify. -- paperCrane -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Payment gateways are not scripting language specific, each just uses its own set of protocols and such. There are many PHP-based shopping crarts out there that support many payment gateways. There's also PEAR's Payment_Process package, but I don't think it's stable yet. I wrote my own shopping cart (using a bunch of PEAR modules) in a few months which is very fully featured. Then again, it took two months of full time work. ;-) -- paperCrane -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] php and Perl
Yes, you can call perl scripts using "exec" or "system" function just like you will call any other system function. You will have to make sure that the apache user (or nobody if your apache runs as nobody) has executable permission on perl script. So if your perl script is: /home/nikunj/test.pl you can call some thing like this: Regards, Nikunj Virani - Original Message - From: "Brad Wright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP General List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 6:30 PM Subject: [PHP] php and Perl Hi all, can php call perl scripts?

RE: [PHP] PHP and Perl
try use redirections.
e.g, call your php script that redirects to your pl script with all required
parameters that redirects for a resulting php script... arrrgg
but i think the better way is to convert everthing to PHP or Perl
