[PHP] PHP from CLI with SAPI
Hi! I've begun to be more and more displeased with Apache lately, so I've been thinking of writing my own HTTP server instead. I still want PHP support, but writing a new SAPI for PHP seems like overkill. Therefore, is it possible to use PHP from the command line, but still enable some HTTP-server-only stuff, like GET and POST variables, cookies, session management, file uploads, and so on? I haven't been able to find any docs on doing that, but I'm thinking that it should be possible. So, can someone either point me to some docs in this, or, lacking such, give me a short intro to it?

Hi Fredrick, Hi! I wonder too why you are displeased with apache =) to me (and I know many others in this group) it is the best webserver around. One of the problems for me with Apache is that it's too complex. To begin with, it contains a million feature that I'll never use, but which does bring up resource consumption. It also contains a lot of high-performance stuff which impedes flexibility, such as not being able to keep file descriptors to instead be able to load-balance requests between workers and servers. Almost foremost, however, I'm looking to build a server with far better support for multi-user operation. While Apache with UserDir and suexec does some things good, it cannot, for example, running PHP applications as different users. I know there is a worker module for apache that can run different vhosts as different users, but that's just vhosts -- you still cannot define arbitrary authoritative domains (such as directories) that are run as different users. At least not the way I've understood it. I'm just running a multi-user POSIX system at home with shell access, and having to run all web processing as the apache user, well, kinda sucks, when it could instead actually be run as the user it should run as, and access the users' data correctly. If you would want to do it (and not use php as a library [SAPI-style] ) you shouldn't look in to CLI, but into CGI. Yes, that's what I meant. I meant calling PHP's CLI interface with a CGI-style interface. Using CGI you can lauch a php process every time a script is called. Many years ago they discovered this isn't the best way to handle this. To launch a process every time a script is called takes too much time and resources. So they invented the FASTCGI interface, which allows php processes to remain persistant in the memory. You would probably (depending on your demands) want to have a bunch of php processes forked in the memory. While that is true, I don't think that the real CGI interface would be a problem with the kind of load that my server is under. If it's an experment, I would say go for it. If you want to use it commercially or at least in a live enviroment I would strongly discourage you to do it. Well, of course it's not a commercial environment. I just want a good multi-user server on my home system. In any case, if you want it to be fast, you want to do it 'SAPI-style'.. Well, I've been considering writing a SAPI for PHP. I haven't actually looked at the SAPI interface, but I'm getting the feeling that that's probably more work than writing an entire web server. ;) Anyways, thanks for your input!

All of the features you mentioned are those provided for you by Apache, barring the session management. If you really want to write your own http server then maybe take a look at the Apache source code. It will either give you some good pointers or make you realise what a huge task you are undertaking... Are you sure about this? The way I've understood it, the web server just passes the URL to PHP, and then PHP parses and extracts the GET variables from it and construct an array of them. Likewise, surely the server just passes the content passed by the client browser, and then PHP extracts the POST variables and file uploads, right? I wouldn't think that Apache extracts POST variables and file uploads by itself. Same thing with cookies, right? Surely, the webserver just passes the headers to PHP, which extracts the cookies, right? I would think that it should be possible to pass the URL, headers, and client-passed content to PHP via PHP's CLI interface, to let it do that job. Isn't that possible? Even if not, parsing GET URLs and headers doesn't really seem like a very huge undertaking. I realize that Apache is huge, but that's just because it has so insanely many features -- an HTTP server in itself shouldn't need to be very complex, the way I see it. Thanks for responding!

[PHP] Unix sockets and fsockopen
Hi List! I'm writing an open source PHP application which uses (connects to) Unix sockets. To that means, I'm using the fsockopen function. However, when reading the fsockopen documentation on php.net and being referred to Appendix N, it seems clear that one should use the notation unix:///path/to/socket. However, that doesn't work with any version of PHP that I've tried myself -- they only work if I give them a normal path (without the unix:// specifier). Right now, I'm using PHP 4.2.2 (comes with RH9), but previously I was using some PHP 4.3 version, although I don't remember which. Recently, however, I've started receiving mails from people who say that it only works if they replace the fsockopen call so that it uses the unix:// scheme. At least one of them was using PHP 4.3.11, and another one was using PHP 5. I don't think I asked for the PHP versions of the others. So, what is one supposed to do with this really? Is there any particular way that I can detect if I should use unix:// and prepend it if necessary? If you don't mind me asking, what's the reason for this inconsistency? Thanks for your attention!

[PHP] Re: [PHP-I18N] How to get WIN-1255 encoded string
On Sun, 2004-11-07 at 13:57 +0200, Marina Markus wrote:
Hello,
Hi!
I need a PHP script to create an email message in a way that a subject line
in Hebrew will be readable in all mail clients. Some mail clients cannot
cope with Hebrew if they don't have character set explicitly denoted.
I believe that should be _all_ e-mail clients. Since the default MIME
charset is US-ASCII (as per RFC 2047 and 2822), only faulty e-mail
clients would be able to cope with non-ASCII characters without wrapping
the header in MIME.
Is there a possibility in PHP allowing to encode a string
with WIN-1255 character set encoding? The result should look like:
=?windows-1255?B?Rlc6IOz26eHl+CDk8uXj6e0=?=
which the mail client then is able to decode back into Hebrew.
If you're running PHP5, you might want to look at iconv_mime_encode. If
not, you can take these functions, which are from a GPL:d webmail I'm
writing, and adapt them to your purpose:
function mimifyhdr($header)
{
if(strpos($header, ) !== FALSE)
{
$temp = ;
$cp = 0;
while(($np = strpos($header, , $cp)) !== FALSE)
{
$temp .= mimifyhdr(substr($header, $cp, $np - $cp)) . ;
$cp = $np + 1;
}
$temp .= mimifyhdr(substr($header, $cp));
return($temp);
}
$nh = ;
$num = 0;
for($i = 0; $i strlen($header); $i++)
{
$c = substr($header, $i, 1);
if(ord($c) = 128)
$num++;
}
if($num == 0)
return($header);
if($num (strlen($header) / 4))
return(=?UTF-8?B? . encodemime($header, base64) . ?=);
$nt = ;
for($i = 0; $i strlen($header); $i++)
{
$c = substr($header, $i, 1);
if(($c == =) || (ord($c) = 128) || ($c == _))
{
$nt .= = . strtoupper(dechex(ord($c)));
} else if($c == ) {
$nt .= _;
} else {
$nt .= $c;
}
}
return(=?UTF-8?Q? . $nt . ?=);
}
function addhdr($name, $val)
{
global $headers;
if(trim($val) != )
{
$temp .= $name . : . mimifyhdr($val);
$maxlen = strlen($temp);
$ls = 0;
while($maxlen 70)
{
$cp = $ls + 70;
while(strpos(\t , substr($temp, $cp, 1)) === FALSE)
{
if(--$cp $ls)
break;
}
if($cp $ls)
break;
$temp = substr($temp, 0, $cp) . \r\n\t .
substr($temp, $cp+ 1);
$ls = $cp + 3;
$maxlen = strlen($temp) - $ls;
}
$headers .= $temp . \r\n;
}
}
Note that they take values which are already in the UTF-8 encoding. If
your values aren't in UTF-8, take a look at the iconv function.
If anyone has a solution for another character set, I suppose it can also
help.
I'd recommend that you use UTF-8 instead. It's more general than
Windows-1255 (copes with characters outside the Hebrew range), and is
probably supported by more MUAs.
Hope it helps!

Sorry, it seems the `encodemime' function was mine as well:
function encodemime($text, $encoding)
{
if($encoding == quoted-printable)
{
$nt = ;
for($i = 0; $i strlen($text); $i++)
{
$c = substr($text, $i, 1);

else
$nt .= $c;

return(base64_encode($text));
return($text);
}
Sorry for taking two mails.
