Have your PHP script run a function that synchs up the globals with what you want. So your Java server could populate a file or something with the appropriate data that it received and your glue function would read it and populate the global arrays. Cheers, Rob. -- ...

Steve,
You'd need to transpose the $_GET variables from the request to
$argv variables via the CLI. I don't know exactly how Java would
handle it, but the PHP equivalent (though rather recursive and
unnecessary, it's just here for demonstration purposes) would be:
?
foreach($_GET as $p = $v) {
$data .= .$p.=.$v;
}
exec('`which php` '.$filename.$data,$ret); // This would work on Linux
// exec('X:\path\to\php.exe '.$filename.$data,$ret);
?
Then, in the PHP script, if it wants $_GET variables, you simple
reverse-transpose the variables like so:
?
// cliscript.php
// Test this from the CLI like so:
// php cliscript.php nothing=nill apple=orange foo=bar testvar=itworks
for($i=1;$icount($argv);$i++) {
$variables = split(=,$argv[$i]);
$_GET[$variables[0]] = $variables[1];
}
echo $_GET['testvar'].\n;
?
Of course, remember to sanitize all of your input properly.
Someone else will probably provide a better example than this in some
way, but in the interest of a quick reply, that will get you started.

Thanks Daniel, I can certainly do that in Java without much trouble,
however I was hoping to avoid needing to do things in each php file to
convert argv into $_GET. I want to be able to serve standard PHP
without modifying each one.
But you made me realize there is a way. I wrote a small pre.php file
like this:
?php
#
for($i=1;$icount($argv);$i++) {
$variables = split(=,$argv[$i]);
$_GET[$variables[0]] = $variables[1];
}
?
and in my php.ini, I set this:
auto_prepend_file =e:\php523\pre.php
Now it works fine without having to modify the php code! All I need to
do is have the Java code set up the html parms as argv, and I'm done.

That was actually what I was getting at, but because I went to
test it on my own box to be certain it would work, I apparently forgot
to type it into the email.

So your Java server could populate a file or something with the appropriate data that it received and your glue function would read it and populate the global arrays. Would it not be easier to build php as a cgid? You can look at the source in lighttpd, it shows an simple method to interface with the php cgid which I think you could incorporate into your java server (unless your java server is all script based then it might take a little more work).
