This may be simple (okay, okay, it IS simple) but I spent a lot of time
trying to call Rebol scripts from PHP pages. I tried exec() and passthru()
and other techniques, but PHP parsed my Rebol call into some phantom cyber
dimension with a smug sneer at my ineptitude. As ever with anything
connected with Rebol, the answer (comes the dawn) is purely minimalistic!
You do it like below. Works like a champ! My new forum for writers and
publishers (http://abooks.com/publish) shows it in action (banners at top of
forum).
<?PHP include ("http://abooks.com/cgi-bin/banner.r"); ?>
This technique is more significant than it might appear. With PHP's
excellent handling of mySQL and other databases and Rebol's super
fantasuperloopalapulous data manipulation and messaging capabilities,
numerous possiblities spring to mind. I HOPE Rebol/command (whenever it gets
released) alleviates the need for some of these, but solutions are
solutions.
