I agree. We could create compability layer to mimic mod_midgard functionality
in PHP CGI binary. Of course, these functions should be used only if Apache
support in PHP is disabled but Midgard's one is enabled.
One should write his/her scripts in such manner:
<?php
$cgi_midgard = mgd_get_midgard
("mysql://user:password@database","/path/to/midgard-root.php3");
$scenario = $cgi_midgard->translate_url();
eval $scenario;
?>
This is a rough sketch though. You may notice different parameters to
mgd_get_midgard() and especially first parameter which will allow select not
only MySQL database but other supported too ("mysql://", "odbc://", "oracle://"
etc).
Your toughts?
