PHPSuexec Problem

[MN-Robert]

One of our users is having problem calling an include. He has a php script and uses Virtual To include cgi scripts. However since we installed phpsuexec this is no longer working what command/work around would work in this situation?

From what I have seen it is almost easier to make sure all your scripts are either PHP or CGI.. but of course this is not perfect world...

My best suggestion is to be sure you are using an absolute path with it.

So, he is calling the PHP script from the CGI or is it the other way around?

He is calling a cgi script from a php script

He has tried:

virtual (which gives a error)
exec("/home/XXX/public_html/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi"); (which just prints the text)

<?php exec("perl /home/XXX/public_html/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi"); ?>

Unfortunately produces nothing the only way I have found around it so far is:

<?php system("perl /home/XXX/public_html/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi"); ?>

But that requires me to remove any CONTENT-TYPE from being printed in the CGI script, which works for my POLL and COUNTER but NOT my news (which is the most important thing for me).

Here is small script that will get the output from some url/script....

<? 

$file = "http://www.someurl.ext/file.cgi"; 
$open = fopen($file, "r"); 
$search = fread($open, 20000); 
fclose($open); 

?>

I have used similar scripts for different things, but would work in place of what you were trying.
