Need Help on passing var between PHP <----> CGI

Hey guys, I really need help on this passing value to CGI and get value back to PHP stuff work. Big Thanks

Ok Here is my current code:

<?php

   ob_start();
       passthru ("/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/XXXX/testing.cgi");
       $results = ob_get_contents();
       ob_end_clean();
       echo $results;   

?>

Code (markup):

and Here is my CGI Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

sub test {

  my @n;
  $n[0] = 10;
  $n[1] = 17;
  $n[2] = 23;
  return @n;
  }

($first,$second,$third) = test();


print "$first-$second-$third";

Code (markup):

If I run the code above I got this: 10-17-23

!!!! BIG HOWEVER !!!!!

I would like to pass a value $myNumber to $n[0];

simple say the result I hope is:

if I set $myNumber = 10000

then I got this: 10000-17-23

 

The reason passing and retrieving value from CGI is, I need pass a value into a CGI function (large and complex function, no time to convert to php) and get the return of that CGI function and use it in the PHP script.

And this may make it easier to under stand:
------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

sub test {

my @n;
$n[0] = $mySuperNumber(Somehow pass this value from php and use here);
$n[1] = 17;

$c = $n[0] + $n[1];

return $c;

}

($NewResult) = test();

print "$NewResult";

Code (markup):

----------------------------------------------

Then I can use the php code above to get the value of this $NewResult

Am I make myself clear?

 

problem solved!!!!!!!!!!　so happy
