calling cgi script & then redirect

[arenaTR]

I have some processing I want to do.

I have a cgi scrpt that I want to call, it just sends an email.

Can I use a simple "header" command for that? But then I want to use
"header" again in order actually redirect for a script.

Your help is, as always, appreciated.

So you create your own script, that calls the cgi scripts (through wget
or the like) , and then send the header to redirect.

I'm having some strange trouble with this. I can't find the "wget" function
(I'm assuming it's function) that you mentioned. Can you guide me or make
any other suggestions? And I want to be able to call the cgi script from the
php script that will eventually use "header" to redirect. Your help is, of
course, greatly appreciated.

<?php
`wget http://foo`;
header("Location: http://bar");
?>

A real lazy way:

file_get_contents($full_url_to_the_cgi_script); // fire the CGI script

header("Location: $redirect_to_this_url"); // redirect
