Hi,
I want to send parameters from php to a perl script. The strange thing is that I can execute the perl script from the command line exactly as it is typed into the exec command of the php file and it works!
Here's my code:
PHP file:
======
<?php
print "Hello from PHP!<br>";
exec ('perl /<path to perl script>/test_perl_params.pl myparam=1',$result);
print $result[0];
print "<br>";
print "Bye! ";
?>
Perl File
======
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI;
my $myparam=$cgi->param('myparam');
print "Hello from Perl[",$myparam,"]\n";
When I call the php script, the myparam is not populated in the print statement.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

I came up with a solution to the problem. The perl script now accepts the parameters and I can now pass parameters from php to perl .
Here's my new code:
PHP File:
======
<?php
print "Hello from PHP!<br>";
exec ('perl /<path to perl script>/test_perl_params.pl -myparam 1',$result);
print $result[0];
print "<br>";
print "Bye! ";
?>
Perl File
======
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Getopt::Long;
&Getopt::Long::Configure( 'pass_through', 'no_autoabbrev');
&Getopt::Long::GetOptions( 'myparam|m=s' => \$myparam );
print "Hello from Perl[",$myparam,"]\n";
Cheers,
Don
P.S. I thought it was funny when my original post was moved from the "PHP Coding Help" to "Other >> Other Programming Languages" and then saw that it was a very long time since anyone posted or replied to anything in that forum. I must have been exiled for asking a question related to perl!!
