SSI commands to work in PHP extension

SSI PHP .htaccess apache server

[skinter]

I have a PHP home page, and I want to use some SSI commands in it. I was wondering is there a way to get SSI commands to work on a PHP extension? I've searched Google, but the code that I saw only made PHP use SSI commands only, so all the PHP on my page didn't work.

this has been asked many times and there really isn't any reliable way to do it.

Why do you need to do it? Maybe a better understanding of the situation could help us find a different solution.

I have a random quote generator, and a PHP counter. I suppose I don't really need either, but just a luxury I'd like them. No worries if I can't get it to work, and thanks for the help so far.

[jatar_k]

if they are both php then you could just use the include [php.net] function since the page is php as well

One of the commands is as follows, <!--#exec cmd="cgi-bin/randhtml.cgi"-->

All the PHP commands that I have running (counter, IP logs, etc.) all work fine.

EDIT: I thought that the first command was SSI. Is it?

[jatar_k]

the command itself is SSI, the script might be perl

you could also look at exec [php.net] or passthru [php.net] though we have had mixed results with these they will work

Thank you so much.

Forgot where I've found this, but it works for me:

<?php
putenv ("REQUEST_METHOD=GET");
passthru ("cgi-bin/script.cgi");
?>
