Including Perl in PHP

Hello,

I am trying to call a cgi file from within a PHP file. To do this I am using:

---------------
virtual ('/cgi-bin/test.cgi');
---------------

This works but the code that test.cgi produces is being shown at the top of the page and not in the place were it is being called from!

The code that test.cgi produces is:
---------------
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="468">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%">
<A HREF="/cgi-bin/click.cgi?account=EL" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://www.mydomain.com/images/banner/el.gif" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="468" ALT="EL"></A>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
---------------

Can you help?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

Have you tried using "include" instead of "virtual"?

include ("./cgi-bin/test.cgi");

just curious.

from the manual
To run the sub-request, all buffers are terminated and flushed to the browser, pending headers are sent too.

one workaround might be to include('callcgi.php'); where callcgi.php will itself do the virtual() call, not sure if that would work but its worth a try ?
