calling a cgi script from within a cgi script - 02/20/2001 1:09 AM
Short version:
Is there a way to simply evaluate the following:
chat2.cgi?action=show_users
and dump the output into a variable all within a CGI script?
Long version:
Here's the scoop... if I bring up the following in my browser is spits back a number: http://www.colorado4x4.org/cgi-bin/chat2.cgi?action=show_users
This shows the number of users in a chatroom and I want to use this value in a table just like the Who's Online mod shows the number of users browsing UBB. Is there no way to simply evaluate "chat2.cgi?action=show_users" and dump the output into a variable from within a CGI script?
