I think I misunderstood your question. You have a Perl script that returns HTML and SSI and you want that string, returned to PHP, to be parsed by Apache, so the SSI is evaluated, right?
Okay, now that I've sorted that out, I don't have an answer for you. Sorry. It seems like a very bad way to do things and you're making things harder than they should be. In thinking about it, are you really sure that virtual won't do what you want? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.virtual.php virtual() is an Apache-specific function which is equivalent to <!--#include virtual...--> in mod_include. It performs an Apache sub-request. It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you would parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script must generate valid CGI headers. At the minimum that means it must generate a Content-type header. For PHP files, you need to use include() or require(); virtual() cannot be used to include a document which is itself a PHP file. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] parsing of SSI scripts. > In article <007501c222c5$2014f020$2f7e3393@TB447CCO3>, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (1lt John W.
