Re: [PHP] PHP to access shell script to print barcodes
The problem you're getting is that your web-server interprets the
request as a request for a normal file and just sends it - in effect,
you're not outputting the postscript file, you're just sending the
.php file. Normally, you'll only get your php executed if the file
requested is a .php or .phtml - unless you've changed your server
config.
Try creating a serveps.php that uses the header(Content-Disposition:
attachment; filename: 'serveps.ps') instead, see if that helps you.

Here's the code I was using in the above url:
http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/serveps.php.zip
It's not clear to me if the server is parsing the postscript first and then
serving it, or if the server is server the postscript as-is and the browser
sends it to Preview which interprets it.
I basically want to replicate the functionality found here:

Either of the above might do the trick for you.

Re: [PHP] PHP to access shell script to print barcodes
You can create a .php script that sets a proper header to make the
browser download the file rather than display it. That also allows you
to set the filename for the download. What you'd need to do is include
something like:
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename: 'barcodemerge.ps');
That tells the browser to download the file. You can also try setting
the content-type
header('Content-type: application/postscript');
Either of the above might do the trick for you.

Re: [PHP] PHP to access shell script to print barcodes
Well, that did something, and it does sound like it should work. I've scoured
the web and haven't found anyone with code that does what I'm trying to do.
I've got a working, hardcoded Postscript file here:
http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/barcodemerge.ps
But I need to somehow serve it with PHP, so I can change some variables in it.
By putting headers in place with PHP, and then doing an echo of the
postscript, I get postscript errors (though Preview doesn't tell me what the
error is):
http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/serverps.ps
Trying to trick the web-browser into thinking it's receiving Postscript from a
PHP file is tricky. I don't know what to do next.
Here's the code I was using in the above url:
http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/serveps.php.zip
It's not clear to me if the server is parsing the postscript first and then
serving it, or if the server is server the postscript as-is and the browser
sends it to Preview which interprets it.
I basically want to replicate the functionality found here:

suggestion and use PHP to loop-through and draw the barcodes - - - however,
if I put anything that resembles PHP in my .ps file, bad things happen.
Anyone know the secret to creating a postscript .ps file that had PHP code
injecting data into it?
Here's the source file that works. Where PHP would be handy is at the very
bottom of the script

Notice after you hit SUBMIT QUERY, you get a PDF file with a page of
barcodes. That's _exactly_ what I'm after.
Fortunately, the author gives step-by-step instructions on how to do this
on this page:
http://blog.maniac.nl/2008/05/28/creating-lto-barcodes/
So I've gotten through all the steps, and have created the
barcode_with_samples.ps file, and have it hosted here:
http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/
Notice how the last few lines contain the shell-script that renders the
postscript:
#!/bin/bash
BASE=”100″;
NR=$BASE
for hor in 30 220 410
do
ver=740
while [ $ver -ge 40 ];
do
printf -v FNR “(%06dL3)” $NR
echo “$hor $ver moveto $FNR (includetext height=0.55) code39 barcode”
let ver=$ver-70
let NR=NR+1
done
done
I need to somehow create a PHP script that executes this shell script.
And after doing some research, it sounds like
I need to use the PHP exec command, so I do that with the following file:
http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/printbarcodes.php
Which has the following script:
?php
$command=http://www.winecarepro.com/kiosk/fast/shell/barcode_with_sample.ps;;
exec($command, $arr);
echo $arr;
?
And, as you can see, nothing works. I guess firstly, I'd like to know:
A) Is this PHP exec call really the way to go with executing this shell
script? Is there a better way? It seems to me like it's not really
executing.
that's what exec() is for. $command need to contain a *local* path to the
command in question, currently your
trying to pass a url to bash ... which obviously doesn't do much.
the shell script in question needs to have the executable bit set in order
to run (either that or change to command to
run bash with your script as an argument)
I'd also suggest putting the shell script outside of your webroot, or at
least in a directory that's not accessable
from the web.

I think this is a translation of the script to PHP.
?php
$BASE = 100;
$NR = $BASE;
foreach(array(30, 220, 410) as $hor) {
$ver = 740;

And it makes dialog boxes. Maybe not the kind of dialog boxes you wanted or whatever, but that pretty much sums up GTK PHP in a nutshell... One should also consider http://php.net/ncurses, but that was already referenced, I do believe. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] php and linux shell script
I don't think you'll find anything in PHP as simple as the shell
script version of dialog, but you may be able to bang something
together like that using ncurses.
Probably handier if your time is more important than the machines, to
just use the shell version using one of the Program Executions
functions.
Personally I suggest passthru:
?php
function yesno($str){
$tmpvar = 0; // to avoid E_NOTICE
passthru(dialog --yesno . escapeshellarg($str) . 200 10, $tmpvar);
return $tmpvar;
}
?

Hi I like to think of PHP as a stream programming language. You can use it to generate a stream of html documents, images, sound files, text files, etc etc etc. So why shouldn't you use it to make your own dialogs in it as well? Make an include file that contains the classes, then just declare your class and use it. Like $mydialog=new clsDialog; $mydialog-type=DIALOGTYPE_INPUTBOX; $mydialog-title=Provide some information; $mydialog-regexp=$xxx^; $result=$mydialog-showDialog(); unset($mydialog); Off course the limitations are second to none! I have released some PHP CLI scripts under the terms of GPL2 and they all use the same basic simple engine for argument processing. It may not suit your needs, but you're welcome to study it to get you started.

RE: [PHP] PHP as a shell script
It's simple. Find your php binary (or build one if you don't have one)... I think 'which php' will find it. Then, write a php file with '#!/path/to/php -q' at the top. Use any one of the various execution methods to run your programs. Done! I've been doing this for quite a while. I find it easier than 'traditional' shell scripting = More questions? Ask!

Re: [PHP] PHP as a shell script
There are... but I'm not sure what they are. If you build PHP _without_ any options, I believe you will get the binary. Read the documentation that comes with the source. It will show you the way.
