More on php and Rev cgi

[John Craig]

Check out the following;

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

exec("stuff.cgi", $results);
will return an array of lines of output from your script.

Hop this helps - I'll need to try some rev cgi stuff - sounds good.
