Appweb provides a PHP module for the high performance execution
of PHP applications and scripts. You may use the supplied PHP
library or you can replace it with a custom PHP build of your own
choosing. Alternatively, you can even run PHP using the CGI
interface if you have your own PHP program that you wish
use.
PHP is enabled by default in the Appweb configuration file and is loaded via the LoadModule configuration directive. LoadModule php5 libphp5Module If you are using PHP version 4, replace the "5"s in the above
example with "4"s. Appweb supplies both a PHP4 and a PHP5 module.
To use PHP, you need to create a web document with a ".php"
extension. When your browser requests this page, Appweb will
automatically invoke PHP to process the page. If you wish to use PHP via CGI, see the Using
PHP via CGI section below. PHP is a
widely-used, general-purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for enterprise Web development. It provides an
object oriented programming language, numerous extensions and a
broad developer community. The power of PHP comes at a price, it
typically has a memory footprint of 1-2 MB for the PHP code alone
and can be quite large (> 5MB) for large
applications. For embedded systems, this is often too big and so
we recommend using Embedded Server Pages for such systems. |
