[PHP] PHP to Java integration using : shell_exec function

[Eli Orr (Office)]

Hi,

Please advise if the following is possible and how can pass parameters 
from the PHP to the Java application.


Thanks.

Here's my script draft:

?PHP
  ...
  
  $XML_toEnc = urlencode ($XML);

 // The XML_toEnc 
is a string and shall be urlencoded !
  $EncXML = shell_exec(/usr/bin/java/java -jar MyApp.jar -XML 
$XML_toEnc); == ??? How can I pass parameters like a large string of 
let say XML?


echo  $EncXML; // back to the MObile Client

// Receiving client shall:
//  urldecode the string


?

You're missing the shell escaping. Try something like this:

$xml = 'greetinghello/greeting';
$xml_shell = escapeshellarg($xml);

$result = shell_exec(/usr/bin/java/java -jar MyApp.jar -XML $xml_shell);

See: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellarg.php

If you need to pass the value through standard input, you can pipe it out
of echo:

$result = shell_exec(/bin/echo -n $xml_shell | /usr/bin/java/java -jar
MyApp.jar -XML);

Regards,
Bob
