How can PHP be integrated with CGI for form submissions on a server that supports both?

To integrate PHP with CGI for form submissions on a server that supports both, you can use the PHP `exec()` function to execute CGI scripts from within PHP. This allows you to process form submissions using CGI scripts while still utilizing PHP for other functionalities on the server. 

// Example PHP code to integrate with CGI for form submissions
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $cgiScript = '/path/to/cgi/script.cgi';
    $formData = http_build_query($_POST);
    $output = shell_exec("{$cgiScript} '{$formData}'");
    
    // Process the output from the CGI script as needed
    echo $output;
}
