Hi folks.
I've got a need to fire off a background perl script from PHP in apache.
I've got as part of my web site a page used to upload and process data from
3rd parties, most of which I can process within the script iteself.
However, I now have to upload an excel spreadsheet in xml format that is
approx 11MB in size and using it to do quite a bit of SQL work.
The idea is that I write the code in perl and then after PHP has completed the
file upload, call the perl in the background passing the filename.
Has anyone got any advice or gochas I should know about?
Gary
Hey Gary,
there are multiple ways to execute perl scripts form php:
http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/function.passthru.php
http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/function.exec.php
http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/function.system.php
And some more, but these will do
Mike
