Question

I’m trying to pass variable from PHP file to Perl file by this code

In php file:

exec("perl delete_all.pl $used");

And in perl file I am trying: filename.pl

print $used;

But it’s not working.

Answer 1

Perl isn’t seeing $used, but the value of $used:

Get it from the argument list in Perl:

$used = $ARGV[0];
