使用 PHP 中的参数调用 Perl：exec()、virtual() 等

Question

I am trying to retrieve the output of a Perl cgi script that has parameters with a PHP page on Apache. If my PHP is

<? echo exec('../cgi-bin/test.cgi'); ?>

then I get the correct output (but I can't use the parameters). However, if my PHP is

<? echo exec('../cgi-bin/test.cgi?m=1'); ?>

then I get no output. When I use virtual()

<? echo virtual('../cgi-bin/test.cgi?m=1'); ?>

I get a "Call to undefined function virtual()" error.

My Perl script is getting the parameters with

my $co = new CGI;
my $mobile = $co->param('m') || 0;

I can't run the script from the command line because the shared hosting provider set the server that way.

Answer 1

I don't know if this answer will help anyone else because it isn't technically calling the Perl script via CGI as I understand it, but greg_diesel let me to call the Perl script from PHP with multiple parameters:

exec('../cgi-bin/test.cgi "1" "2"');

and access the parameter in Perl with

$ARGV[0];
$ARGV[1];

etc. instead of CGI.

Answer 2

On thing to consider since it is a server side request is that the perl script submittal of parameters may initiate the script, but return of data may come from a different perl script. a connector/link between the two might be some form of unique identifier.

'../cgi-bin/test.cgi'

'../cgi-bin/run_test.cgi'
