Uh, you're piping the message (header/blankline/body) into the program (see
the pipe | symbol?), not passing them in as commandline arguments (they're
not stored as environment variables anyway).
Consider rewriting your script to take input from stdin. If not, I guess
you could always write a wrapper script to take input from stdin and drop
it into a couple of variables, but you'd no doubt run into trouble the
first time you got a large message.
Use "xargs". It converts stdin to command line arguments.
|xargs /usr/www/cgi-bin/php3.cgi -q myscript.php3
This won't likely work with the $HEADER $MESSAGE idea since it
could be infinitely large, but I thought I'd mention xargs since
most people are unaware of it's utility.
Rewriting the program to read stdin is the most sensible approach
I'd have to agree.
