[Gmod-help] Re: [Gmod-gbrowse] PhP in the conf file?

[Taner Z. Sen]

Hi Lincoln, Jeremy, and Dave,

Ok. We cheated a little without using PHP::Interpreter to at least 
incorporate a header that we use in MaizeGDB:

header = <iframe width="100%" frameborder="0" height="90" 
src="http://someaddress.edu/header.php"> </iframe

TUTORIAL?
It turns out I don't even know how to create a "Hello World!" perl 
code inside sub { .. } Is there a tutorial for dummies that shows how 
to do this? I think this will be the first step for me before using 
PhP::Interpreter.

But for the time being we will be using Javascript for our other 
needs (like creating a feedback button that includes the information 
where we are in the genome along with the user comments)

Thanks,
Taner
