I'll excuse myself behorehand because i'm quite sure there'll be some obvious solution or an answer already out there, but after quite some extensive search I just cant find it.
I'm developing a simplified web server as a project in .net. What i want to do is calling the php.exe for each HTML request to execute any php code within the file, and then return the result to my server where it will be served to the client.
This was quite simple without passing GET/POST parameters, but I can't find the way to make this work.
Right now i have this as my function to write the call the php via command line
Public Shared Function phpparse(ByVal requesttype As String, ByVal argnames() As String, ByVal argvals() As String)
Dim proc As Process = New Process
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "php\php.exe"
Dim B As New System.Text.StringBuilder
B.Append("-B ""$_")
B.Append(requesttype & " = array(")
For i As Integer = 0 To argnames.Length - 1
B.Append("'" & argnames(i) & "' => '" & argvals(i) & "', ")
Next
B.Remove(B.Length - 2, 2)
B.Append(");"" -F script.php")
InputBox("", "", B.ToString)
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = B.ToString
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
proc.Start()
Return proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd
End Function
which returns something like this:
-B "$_GET = array('name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john.doe@no.com');" -F script.php
and should be calling this test php script:
<html>
<body>
Welcome <?php echo $_GET["name"]; ?><br>
Your email address is: <?php echo $_GET["email"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
but it gets stuck trying to read the answer
