Re: [PHP] CGI PHP vs. FastCGI vs. mod_php vs. application server?
On 12 October 2011 09:19, saeed ahmed saeed@gmail.com wrote: greeting all, As far as I know, there are different ways to write a PHP application: - CGI, ie. the usual way : some PHP code in web pages, and the PHP interpreter is loaded each time a PHP page is called - FastCGI : apparently, the interpreter is loaded at boot time; the application itself might also be compiled and loaded once - mod_php : same as FastCGI? - application server : the application is compiled and loaded once; the application can either have its own web server, or use a web server as front end, and only handle its own part Any tips much appreciated, thank you. Each of the SAPIs operate in different environments (though I suppose CGI and FastCGI are going to nearly be swappable). CGI - As you rightly say, is loaded on a per-request basis. There is an overhead for every request to get PHP up and running prior to processing the PHP script. Fast-CGI - This requires some cooperation from the server. The server will create a set of PHP instances (separate executable, not running in the same memory space as the server) ready to receive the script. This reduces the overhead that exists with CGI from request loading to server startup/loading. mod_php - I'm on Windows and have not used Apache. But I have used ISAPI. I believe these operate in a similar fashion. In this instance, the PHP interpreter is loaded as a module of the server, just like any other module the server loads. Each PHP script is handled by a separate PHP thread. These threads are NOT separate instances of PHP, and are running within the same address space as the web server. As a consequence, several features/issues exist. Chiefly for me was the persistent database connections. As the same module of code is running all the scripts, a script can (by the use of the appropriate functions) get the database connection remembered between each script. This allows faster connection to the DB for each script. There are issues though. The connection is to the SERVER and not to the DB. The remembered connection is based upon the server, the username and password. If you use multiple databases on the same connection AND use the selectDB functionality, the single remembered DB connection will change DB. If this happens midscript, you could end up in a very strange place. But, if you use qualified naming (database_name.owner.table_name for an MS SQL example), then you will be fine. Just remember select DB is just a shortcut for the connection to use. It isn't part of the connection. Application Server - Don't know. You also have ... CLI - Command line PHP scripting. You must manually invoke PHP with the script name for it to run, though Windows has some useful features to allow you to run a PHP script without having to declare the PHP executable every time. I think the #! line is the Unix equivalent of this feature, but isn't as complete as the Windows mechanism (IMHO) - See http://docs.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php for additional details on this. And as of 5.4, there is CLI Server. This is using PHP to run as a listener on the HTTP port and passes requests to a simple, userland, PHP-based routing script which will allow you to respond to PHP requests. See http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php for more details. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend : PHPDoc @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY : bit.ly/lFnVea -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Odd that it would work after you hit REFRESH, though. If it was the CLI version, wouldn't youg et the bad headers error every time you refreshed the browser? Could always try manually initiating the headers using the header() command. That may be your own course of action if, for some reason, you don't have access to the web server and the installation of PHP there to upgrade it to the proper version.. Or if you just can't figure out why it's giving you this error, header() might be a workaround. -TG -Original Message- From: Len Borowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] cgi error --- please help I recently had this error.

Well I sorted out the permissions on that directory structure, and the web based cgi performed as the command line one did, I havent had too long to find out if any weird things are going to start happening with the mail apps, but I'm hopeful that this was the solution... Thanks for all the help Marco (even if it did end up being a umm bit O/T as far as php went... sorry :( Regards David Cook David Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Hi all, Got a question regarding using php scripts as cgi's. What I am trying to do is this. (ya may need a bit of background, it gets a little complicated... well for me its complicated) Im building a web based email system using php (duh) as the front end and glue for everything, part of it is using a program called getmail to retreive remote pop accounts to the virtual accounts on the server (its all virtual using qmail/vpopmail and courier-imap). The various setttings for this are in a file called getmailrc, in the virtual users home dir, (this will also be theoretically relevant when I try and do the same thing with a server side filtering program called maildrop.. but one at a time I reckon :)) ie. /home/vpopmail/domains/some.email.domain/someuser/.getmail/getmailrc This file is owned specifically by a user/group otherwise getmail wont work ie: -rw-r--r--1 vpopmail vchkpw585 Sep 29 07:16 getmailrc any permissions other than this will tweak getmails internal security and stop it. I decided to minimise security problems and use mysql as an intermidiary storage for any rules created for getmail, which works fine. :) (yay me.. lol) NOW comes the problem, I need to write (overwrite) that getmailrc file after the user has finished messing with their settings, to do this I decided that since the file can only be read/written to by the vpopmail/vchkpw user/group, that I would knock up a php script to run as a cgi, that would do only one thing: Upon a button being pressed to 'finish edit' the new rules would be written to the mysql table, then the cgi would be invoked with a particular identifier so that it could then look up the mysql table (using that identifier so it gets the right rows), and following some rules inbuilt, write out the getmailrc file with that restrictive permissions set. I wrote up a script that was just for POC, that would get the data for where that file was supposed to be (the /home/vpopmail/etc...etc) and read it, then break out the various details and display it, basically just showing me what was already in the file. (using the shebang method, as my php cgi interpreter is OUTSIDE the web tree, but thats another story of getting the damn thing to work at all... damn RPM'S sometimes... that --enable-force-redirect had me stuck for a few days) When I tested it out from the shell, using ./getmailtest.cgi as root, it worked, in that it did what it was sposed to.. display the contents of the getmailrc file. This cgi php script is owned by vpopmail/vchkpw which should allow reading the file as said above Great, thought I, and proceeded to attempt linking to it from within the editing script, using both an attempt with a 'submit' button and a click through link. Now comes the prob, it fails, with an error of being unable to either open the file, or that the file doesnt exist (depending on what I fiddle with in the script). Would anyone have any ideas as to what may be going wrong here? I havent tried doing this before, using php as a cgi to do stuff to files on the system, so I am at quite a loss, and any help would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Re: php cgi question
Okies, FINALLY I think I have the reason (though not the solution as yet) Marco, you were spot on, which I hadn't pursued properly, only looking at the immediate parent directory permissions. In fact the whole ~vpopmail structure down to the individual users directory has a VERY restrictive set of permissions only the owner (vpopmail) can list read and write to any of the directories leading down to the ~vpopmail/domains/some.email.domain/some.user/ etc.. etc... no group permissions at ALL. I have asked on the vpopmail list what the effect may be of re-setting group list access (at least) to the structure may be as I dont want to break anything on a running server... lol... so yep.. permissions it was indeed (apparantly anyways), I reckon this is a proven case now, just got to work out the solution as I can't setuid for a web enabled cgi to the vpopmail user without getting stuck in suEXEC etc... I dont know why the heck I hadnt tried just cat'ing the file.. lack of sleep perhaps.. lol Will let you know how it goes (if you are interested) Regards, and thanks for all the help David Cook Marco Tabini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Ok, that's a big step forward then. It's possible that your user does not have access to the directory tree where the file resides? Have you tried listing that directory and or opening the file (for example with cat) while using that file? If you can narrow it down to a permission problem (and, at this point, I think that's exactly where the problem is), that it should just be a matter of trying a few things out. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Re: php cgi question
Ok, that's a big step forward then. It's possible that your user does not have access to the directory tree where the file resides? Have you tried listing that directory and or opening the file (for example with cat) while using that file? If you can narrow it down to a permission problem (and, at this point, I think that's exactly where the problem is), that it should just be a matter of trying a few things out.

run basename() on user input as well as this will knock off any

Hi, You're right Dave But nobody had already used PHP with CGI and with Apache ??? I searched on the net, but I've found no documentation on this problem Bye Philippe Dave Goodrich writes: Nope it fails when he removes the line. It fails on me as well, I tried it. Also note I did say that the ouput of phpinfo() was correct. The output showed the page had been handled by the php cgi binary, not the module. The module has a large config line and several extensions configured in, the cgi binary was compiled with nothing but ./configure and the info page confirms this. So it seems Apache is handling everything correct, the page gets passed to the proper php binary, and the result is correctly served back to the client.

The first is the one compiled into Apache and the second is the cgi module. My bet is that the PHP compiled into Apache is catching it first (maybe you told all .cgi files to be parsed by the PHP parser?). In that case, the first line would be treated as HTML output, not PHP. This would be the reason you get that line in all of your scripts. Here's a test: remove that line from your file and then try it.

Re: [PHP] cgi vs. module
Previously, Franklin Hays said:
RE: PHP as a CGI or Module
Generally people will almost always use the module because it's faster and
simpler, and gives you some IPC kind of advantages that the CGI doesn't
have ("internal" cross-talk with Apache).
Reasons to use the CGI:
1. Windows servers must use CGI form
2. If you want to use command-line PHP scripts you need the CGI form
3. If you want suExec support I believe you need to use the CGI form

RE: [PHP] CGI Question?
This has been true since CGI began in the NSCA days. Any program that can take input from STDIN and output to STDOUT works as a CGI program. Languages I have actually used in the CGI bin include, C, C++, AWK, Sh, PHP and of course Perl. The C program simply has to deal with the CGI variables coming in on STDIN. There are probably many C libraries available to help parse this out into an array or something. This is actually a very good method if you want the fastest speed possible form a web application. Compile the C program statically for the best speed.

Re: [PHP] CGI BIN PHP
Cool, Hrishi. Can you make it work if you use a different url? For example, for SSL connections like: https://www.secure-website.net/~mydomain I'm thinking of using something like this: $spos=strpos($SCRIPT_FILENAME, "/public_html"); // or whatever the name of the public root dir $firstpath = substr($SCRIPT_FILENAME,0,$spos); $fullpath = $firstpath . SCRIPT_NAME; Not sure, but I think it's close. kind regards, bill Hrishi wrote: hey, don't go bald yet :) my web host (communitech.net) has the same setup... is that where you're hosted ? i have a script called 'php4.cgi' in my /cgi-bin which contains: #!/bin/sh #echo -e "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; #set SCRIPT_NAME=$REDIRECT_URL;export SCRIPT_NAME; SCRIPT_FILENAME=$PATH_TRANSLATED;export SCRIPT_FILENAME; /bin/php4; #set the #ed out commands are for debugging you may not need them. my .htaccess in the documentroot contains : Action application/x-php4-script "/cgi-bin/php4.cgi" AddHandler application/x-php4-script php i hope you can use this. if you have any other problems, reply to the list because i'm sure more people can use this 'technique'. its still under testing, (i made it 2 days ago) so if there are any changes i need to make, i'll post it here. cheers, hrishi -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] cgi execution w/php failing
I've read through the archives and still must be missing something. I
need to execute a cgi script from php. This seems fairly trivial, but I
can't get it to work.
the cgi script is clean -- executes from the command line without issue
and is 755
from php the follwing is used:
chdir("../../cgibin");
if(is_executable("some.cgi"))
virtual("some.cgi");
else
echo "Not executable";
some.cgi is found and is executable but the following occurs when
attemping to execute via virtual():
Warning: Unable to include 'some.cgi' - request execution failed in
[path to php page]
1. Are you running PHP as a Module? If not, and PHP is itself running as a
CGI, virtual() simply cannot be used. Solution: Use exec() (or system()
or...)
2. Path issues: Try providing the full path to your CGI from the machine's
root file-system and/or from DOCUMENT_ROOT. I'm not sure if virtual() uses
the include path, the current directory, or what, but you can never go wrong
with an absolute full pathname. Well, until you try to move from one server
to another. But you can get it to work for now, and then try variations on
altering include_path and suchlike later.

Re: [PHP] CGI vs PHP
Do you know what PHP is? Your question sounds like "How does MS SQL Server compare to a relational database". Anyway, you can do almost everything with PHP, and that includes handling flat files.

I am sorry if my question is confusing. What I mean is that CGI is excellent in handling flat file data base, reading and writing files line by line, word by wor.

So is PHP equally strong? I assume you mean Perl CGI - there are many programming languages that can run as a CGI. PHP installed as an Apache module will in general run scripts faster than a Perl CGI or PHP CGI. PHP works great for file handling scripts, though as your files grow you'll probably want to consider using databases instead of flat files. -- Steve Werby COO 24-7 Computer Services, LLC Tel: 804.817.2470 http://www.247computing.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
