Invoke PHP scripts?
Hi there,
Apologies if this has been asked 2^32 times, but I couldn't seem to
find anything in the archives or on the web which would solve my
problem.
I'm developing a large-ish web site in which I would like to use a
combination of mod_perl (90%) and PHP (10%). I have run into a
roadblock trying to include the output of a PHP script from a mod_perl
script.
This would do fine:
my $r = Apache->request();
return $r->lookup_uri($url)->run;
But (and I am familiar with why this happens) run() dumps the results
to STDOUT, so the final HTML does not come through in the correct
order.
I tried to use Apache::SSI in this manner:
my $r = Apache->request();
my $ssi = Apache::SSI->new($contents, $r);
return $ssi->get_output();
(Where $contents is the raw PHP source), but, possibly because of some
Content-type mixup, the output is returned as expected (i.e., not
dumped to stdout), but the PHP source is not interpreted.
So, in short, I need another way to invoke a PHP script from my
mod_perl application... exactly what <!--#include virtual="..." -->
would do.
Help..? :-)

How about using notes()?

Hi Thomas,
I was beginning to get that impression myself ;-)
As an unelegant, inefficient, but somewhat useful hack, I ended up
reversing the logic and wrapping my mod_perl script in PHP, with PHP's
virtual() function. It's not altogether efficient, and adds another
layer of complexity, but it works for me, and it's fast/stable enough
to be production code.

That'll be great when the technology is ready for production.

It's possible to lock up your server under heavy load if it's calling
itself via HTTP. between that and mysql handles I prefer to have separate
apache engines for php and modperl.

As far as I know this is rather impossible with mod_perl 1.x
You can chain different perl handlers (but only perl handlers) using
Apache::Filter, or you could let your mod_perl application issue a real http
request (using LWP), parse the output, and then do what you want with it.
Apache 2.0 (and mod_perl 2.0) (both in BETA) can do what you want unsing
Filters.

How about using php in cgi mode and using `php scriptname` from within
perl to capture the output? Not the best performance-wise, but it would
do what you want, I think.
