It’s very simple to run a script (for example, a CGI script) by clicking a button in a form:(Note: For display purposes, the code snippets in this article use square brackets ‘[' instead of angle brackets. You will need to change these to angle brackets in order to use the code.)[form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/updatePage.cgi"]::[/form]Sometimes, however, you might need to run a script automatically from within a web page without requiring the user to perform an action. You might want to do this if, for example, you have one or more variables that have been generated perhaps by another script, which you need to process without user interaction.If you insert the following code into an HTML page, the script (in our case, updatePage.cgi) will be automatically executed when the web page is loaded into a browser.[img src="/cgi-bin/updatePage.cgi" height="1" width="1"]In order to ensure that a broken link is not generated by the cgi script itself, include the following code in the cgi script itself.print “Content-type: image/gif”; open IN, ‘image.gif’ or die “Cannot open: $!”; binmode IN; print while ; close IN;There also needs to be an image called image.gif in the same directory (cgi-bin) as the cgi script.I often use this technique to automatically perform certain text processing activities in my content management systems. For example, I might have one or more ASCII files that need to be automatically updated at the end of an operation, but I don’t want to force the user to click, for example, an update button.

I am a PHP newcomer and I’m writing a lot of scripts. Over this same time, I’ve seen sluggish performance from time to time with pages loading on my site. I thought it was my host at fault, but now I’m thinking maybe some of my practice scripts are running in the background without me knowing it, eating up bandwidth???

Is there a php command or function that I can use to find out what scripts of mine are currently running on the server side — or is their some command I can give to stop any and all scripts of mine out there that may be caught in an infinite loop?

Again, I’m thinking that some bad practice scripts of mine are slowing down my system performance because they’re struggling to run in the background — but I need to know how to check this.

I’ve read a little about so-called “profilers” that seem to be for this purpose, but they all seem rather expensive and in any case, I haven’t found any that say they’ll work with a Mac.

Thanks
