FWIW, I've also used a method similar to Pierre's for PHP script <->
MetaCard daemon work.
I have easily supported 50+ users hitting the system hard (with many
database queries and a lot of HTML generation) on a modest server. Have
yet to see where the maximum is.
My php is not so good - but need to start interfacing with a whole bunch
of php code on a web server - so finally going to have a go at adopting
Pierre's method - especially now that I can see that using a root
protected port should deal with the main security prob?
I'm working with TikiWiki which has a very nice templating system
(http://smarty.php.net/). So what I need to be able to do is set
variables in the php scripts that call the smarty templates - and I want
to code these in Rev. Finally it would be great to call the huge library
of small php functions (but this can be done ok using REST or shell
scripts).
NB - if anyone is interested in robust templating systems and MC - have
a look at ClearSilver (http://www.clearsilver.net/). Best I've found -
light, fast, open source, used by big sites, and multi-language
bindings. It's written in C - so all we need is to write some tiny
little bit of C glue - and Rev has a world class templating system. I
would absolutely love someone to help with that as my C is non-existent :(
As far as I can see this php script is a generic way for a url posted
to Apache / php to pass this data on to a Rev daemon running on the
server - which can then do whatever it likes. Which is cool. But am I
right that this is a one way process?
What would be great is if I knew enough php to write a function which
would communicate over the same socket listener to Rev, and then return
this back to php to set a variable or whatever - IAC in other words?
Now this can be done with RESTful type interfaces
(http://www.devx.com/DevX/Article/8155), but it would be even better and
more light weight to use a two way socket listening set up on root
protected ports - or am I only getting half the picture here?
