用PHP运行C ++代码

Question

I have a some C++ code I would like to have run on a server and return the output. I know that

exec("./myprogram.exe", $out);

should run the program and $out will hold the output. Currently I can't get output from my program... it outputs it using cout and I compiled it on Windows, the server I want to run it on is Linux based. Any pointers?

First, you need to recompile your C++ code on Linux, using first g++ -Wall -g (order of arguments to g++ matters a lot) -then some other compiler arguments- since -Wall asks for all warnings and -g for debugging information. Once your code is debugged on Linux you could also pass -O2 to ask GCC to optimize.

Then you need to use the popen function of PHP to get the output of your command (thru a pipe). As documented, use e.g. fgets to read from the pipe handle, and don't forget to pclose it. See also this answer.
