I need to change this into CGI please help Urgent

If it is wrote in perl how do I include it in an html page to call it

the script

if(isset($account)) {
$contents = file_get_contents("bia.dat");
if (strpos($contents, $account) === false) {
$alert2 = "";

}
else {
$alert2 = "Alert Account Exists";
echo $alert2;
}
}

this is what i had in the html page

<?php $ip = "12233432"; $account ="6763364"; include ("check.php") ?>

Thanks

Your script is neither Perl nor PHP nor shell script.

It seems to be a combination of all three, hence it won't run.

First you need to decide which language you want to use, then we can work on how to call it.

If you really want Perl, then you call it via SSI or CGI.

Uh..... It is a php script .... I know for sure!!! I wrote it. And it is what I do for a living. I just did not put <?php ?>

All I want is to have it changed into cgi I am a Php programmer not CGI

Thanks,

I'm sure PHP doesn't use === for comparisons. I think you meant ==

To turn it into a CGI script, you just need to add a MIME header to the output,:

Content-Type: text/html

Make sure you have a blank lline after the header.

Not familar with PHP, but I assume you do

echo "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"

=== returns true if the values are equal and of the same type.
