PHP + Perl on same page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 08.2004

Hi Guys,

Anybody know of a way to use Perl and PHP on the same page? I’m a neophite with both, but am building a site with basic PHP includes for navigation, header, footer, etc. I need to create a system for the client to update information on his own (probably text only). In the past, we’ve used a Perl cgi script that writes text, from a form on a web page, to a .txt file. That file’s contents are then displayed in tabular format on a .cgi web page. Problem is, we can’t seem to make Perl and PHP co-exist.

Is there a pre-made PHP solution to this problem? It needs to be simple, or at least clearly documented.

I may have just stumbled across a supremely simple answer in another post. I’ll test & post again if I still need the help.

@JonaMay 08.2004 — [font=arial]You know how CGI files are processed by perl.exe, and PHP filse are processed by php.exe? Well, you should be able to change the setting to make it so that CGI files are also parsed by php.exe. Though, I don't know if this will cause any conflicts...[/font]

@Aronya1authorMay 08.2004 — OK. Sounds like a server setting change, right? If so, is that something the hosting company is going to be likely to want to do?

Alternatively, just use Perl for the header etc.
