php includes called from with cgi file

is it possible?

[derek mcgilvray]

Hi folks,
I have cgi files and want to 'include' a php file for the header and footer - is it possible, or do I need to change the .cgi extension?
Any help would be much appreciated,

Derek

so is the the cgi file perl? there is also php cgi.

if it is perl I believe you need some kind of exec to include the output of the script as opposed to the content

Thanks for your offering jatar_k, I'm not sure if it's perl or php but I messed around a bit and was able to put the content of the php include files directly into the cgi script and all's working well now. Thanks again for your help.

no problem, I assume it was php then ;)
