Clearing pipe stream and a few other issues.

["zedleon" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ok, I'm not sure how to explain this but here goes..

I have a php script being used as a cgi to get around certain permission
issues.
Its not what I wanted but is basically working. Running through the cgi-bin
has been
much more difficult however, for example,

1. I need to clear or reset the stream because on occasion, I am get
variables from a previous submission to the form.
    Not sure how to do this.
2. I have having trouble using the header function. Its says that the header
is already been sent.
    I can only assume at this point its because of the
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q at the top of the script required for cgi's.
    I may be wrong. I may not even need the header.

3. The formatting is coming out in plain text..The html code is not
executing. Here again I believe its a header content issue.

  here is the code:

<?
echo "
<H1 align=center>Thank You, $sender_name</h1>
<p align=center>Your secret message has been sent.</p>";
?>

 here is the result:
<H1 align=center>Thank You, David</h1>
<p align=center>Your secret message has been sent.</p>

I am rookie at php, so any insights, workarounds or help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Zed


<?

$fp=popen("cat","r");
$str=fgets($fp);
pclose($fp);

print $str;

$arr = array();
foreach (explode('&', $str) as $v) {
$split = explode('=', $v);
// urldecode content for readability
$arr[$split[0]] = urldecode($split[1]); // create assoc. array
${$split[0]} = urldecode($split[1]); // form the variables
}

//echo $sender_name . '<br/>' . $arr['sender_name'];
print_r($arr);

$msg = "Sender's Full Name: $sender_name\n";
$msg .= "Sender's E-Mail: $sender_email\n";
$msg .= "Secret Message? $sender_msg\n\n";
?>
