Re: SV: Orionserver php
what exactly do you mean by "compile PHP as a servlet"? Isnt PHP written in C/C++? It's written in C and comes with different wrappers for executing it, the most common being a standalone CGI process or compiled into Apache as a module. However, there is also a Servlet wrapper, which uses JNI to bind to the native code. The advantages of using this over the standalone CGI executable are: - Speed (a new process does not need to be forked for each request, and the engine is reused) - Access to Java objects - PHP can construct objects, access attributes, methods and properties. - Request, Response, Session, RequestDispatcher, etc objects available to PHP page - Runs in same context. Calls to EJBs do not have to be passed over RMI The downside to running PHP as a Servlet is that it's tricky to install, and because it uses JNI it's not protected by the VM. There will be a howto for setting this up appearing on orionsupport.com within the next few days if you're interested. -Joe Walnes

Orionserver php
Hello folks, has anyone mixed orionserver and php? If you don't want to install Apache, but enable php, will it run over orionserver? Regards, Jukka
Re: Orionserver php
Yes it does, and very well indeed. Nice thing is that PHP can interact with Java objects (such as EJB's) so it makes for a nice presentation layer. I await the flames. -Joe Walnes At 10:19 12/12/2000 +0200, you wrote: Hello folks, has anyone mixed orionserver and php?

SV: Orionserver php
This is actually VERY easy to do, just compile a normal php cgi executable without apache integration and install it in your path... Dont touch anything in orion, but restart it... Then make a file in your default webapp or something containing the following to test if it works: info.php - filename contents: ?php info(); ? If this shows a nice page with php information youre off and running :) Klaus Myrseth -Opprinnelig melding- Fra: Joe Walnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sendt: 12. desember 2000 13:07 Til: Orion-Interest Emne: Re: Orionserver php Yes it does, and very well indeed.

Re: SV: Orionserver php
Or, if you're feeling daring...
Compile PHP as a servlet and then place the classes and necessary
servlet-mappings in your web-app.
Then from your PHP, you can do stuff like:
%
$ctx = new Java("javax.naming.InitialContext");
$myHome = $ctx-lookup("ejb/MyBean");
$me = $myHome-findByPrimaryKey($id);
%
Name: %= $me-name %
Age: %= $me-age %
(hypothetical example).
It's nice because servlet/JSP controllers can forward to or include PHP
pages as if they are normal servlet/JSP pages, and PHP can access EJB's,
ServletRequest, etc etc. Useful when Java is too scarey for web-developers.
