While I haven't tried it, it certainly looks feasible. If you fetch a
page from Apache, any embedded PHP script will be executed, and the
results could be passed to a Rebol cgi program in a variety of different
ways. Another option is to have a PHP script launch an instance of Rebol
from the command line and pipe stuff to it and from it.
As others have mentioned, too much mixing of Rebol and PHP scripts is
bound to be hard to maintain. But if some rudimentary database facilities
and other misc. functions could be provided with a few pages of short PHP
scripts, it might be worthwhile to give it a go, especially since PHP is
so widely installed.
