    Execute a CGI script through PHP

    How can I execute a CGI script through PHP? PHP doesn't like this at all:

    <!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/poll/fantasycricket.pl" -->

    PHP Code:
    <?php include "/cgi-bin/poll/fantasycricket.pl" ?>
    or

    PHP Code:
    <?php virtual("/cgi-bin/poll/fantasycricket.pl" ?>

    PHP doesn't like that because that's SSI.. I don't really know why; but I laughed when I read it..

    I laugh when I read every post. Bwah-ha-ha!
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    The PHP in my post is missing the ) and the ;

    That makes it twice as funny.

    include does a raw text include, so that won't work.

    You could use fopen to send a HTTP request to the CGI script and simply write out the results.
