The reason why I'm having my php run as a .cgi in the
first place, is because I want the script to inherit
the user/group of the virtual host that it's running
under (using suEXEC), and this is not possible when
using a php script interpreted through the web server.
It must be run as a .cgi, since .cgi's will inherit
the user/group. This is no problem in Perl, since it
provides a way to pass variables from one .cgi to
another (using my $query = new CGI;
param('testbox');). But I can't figure out how to do
this in PHP, since using $_GET['testbox']; always
produces "Undefined index: testbox in test.cgi on line
8".. Thanks,
John
P.S. If anyone has any other ideas of how to get a PHP
script to run as a specific user/group under a Virtual
Host, I'm all ears.. All I need is for the script to
be able to mkdir as a specific user/group, but this is
proving to be more than a small challenge!
