Re: LC Script in PHP File
Peter,
Most PHP installations will not allow file_get_contents() to be run on
localhost to prevent infinite loops. I've been hurt by that before.

Re: LC Script in PHP File
I've just replied on another thread why FastCGI is not a good candidate for LiveCode in my humble opinion. As for Apache Modules, those things are on the way out. If we want LC Server to be taken seriously then it need to work with Apache and Nginx. it needs to work like Node, Ruby, Python and others are working which is by having a LC Server process (or pool) listening on a port talking back to the Apache/Nginx usually thru some reverse proxy directive.

If we want LC Server to be taken seriously then it need to work with Apache and Nginx. I like to imagine this in stages: if an Apache mod is easier to build, perhaps it could be done first, maybe even as a community effort, with a FastCGI implementation done later once the engine team has had more experience delivering threading to us. Kevin and I had a good talk yesterday about community initiatives surrounding education*, and part of the discussion briefly touched on LC Server. Of course right now the core team at RunRev has their hands quite full with the current lineup of items on the Road Map, but the value of a multi-threaded LC Server engine is well recognized there. From various discussions of debugging we're already aware of plans to integrate a form of threading for that, at last separating the debugging engine from the instance it's debugging. By the time that's in place the engine team will have had many good opportunities to explore useful ways threading can be applied to other tasks later on, such as for Server use. So yes, it's not possible to use FastCGI well with the engine as it is, but the engine is an ever-evolving thing. In the meantime, there's plenty we can do to move that along, mostly by just creating demand for it. Build lots of cool stuff with LC Server, build your audience, and hopefully by the time you have an audience large enough to truly need a FastCGI implementation we'll have one. For now, both Kevin and I have been very impressed with the work of one of their most recent hires, a fella you'll find in the forums by the name of peter_b. He's been taking tests from Malte's Performance Benchmarking Project there (see http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=67t=22072), and using those to help guide the engine team for areas in which v7 performance can be brought up to the level we had with v6.7. Donald Knuth reminds us that Premature optimization is the root of all evil, and v7 just delivered a mind-blowingly complete implementation of Unicode across the whole of the LC code base. Clearly it couldn't be tightly optimized at the same time as it was first written, but efforts are well underway to bring its performance closer to v6.7 right now. Interestingly, there are already some new changes in v7 that are pretty smart for optimization, like copy-on-write-only. As they continue to find other ways to enhance performance without us needing to modify our scripts, Kevin's pretty confident we'll see v7 performance where we want it, possibly even faster over the long term than v6.7 is today. And right now, unless you're running Twitter (and congrats if you have a project that popular), CGI is pretty nice. It provides very clear separation of processing and memory space, and the overhead difference between multiprocessing and multithreading isn't as significant as one might think. In fact, on one server I had not long ago we had a FastCGI implementation of PHP driving Drupal on the same server as a CGI-based custom search engine made in LC - we were able to perform all the steps needed to deliver search results in 1/3 the RAM and 1/5 the CPU time as Drupal could deliver a page of static content. So even with CGI today things are pretty good, and with both performance in v7 being worked on now which will benefit CGI, and likely a FastCGI version further down the road, it only gets better. In the meantime, it would be super-cool to see more libraries and frameworks in the community for this sort of thing. Right now we have a great one from Ralf Bitter, RevIgniter, but just as the PHP community has Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, and others, I believe there's plenty of room for lots of other toolkits to round out our options for delivering dynamic content and services with LiveCode Server. * Anyone interesting in teaching LiveCode or teaching with LiveCode is strongly encourage to participate in the Teaching with LiveCode section of the forums - as the community moves forward with more resources for educators that'll be our main working group to bring it all together: http://forums.livecode.com/viewforum.php?f=25 -- Richard Gaskin LiveCode Community Manager rich...@livecode.org ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: LC Script in PHP File
Hi
You can also use the curl function if your LC script is located on a server :
$data = 'http://myDomain/lc/myLCscript.lc?a=' . $myVar;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I use this method very often in my php scripts and find it very easy to
maintain.

Re: LC Script in PHP File
Richard As Simon mentioned, “calling” a LiveCode function by running a cgi script will be slower than a simple function call. Running a very simple LiveCode cgi script takes a few hundred milliseconds. A function call will take a few milliseconds. On my machine, which has a solid-state drive, I ran two simple test scripts: The PHP script took 76 milliseconds The PHP script which “calls LiveCode took 261 milliseconds I have PHP installed as an Apache module so running a PHP script will always be faster than running a LiveCode script. The performance of LiveCode and PHP would be the same if either PHP was being run in the same fashion as LiveCode (i.e. using CGI) or there was a LiveCode Apache Module. I suspect this makes little difference to shared hosting user as I understand that many shared hosts do not run PHP as an Apache module. It will make a difference to people running on dedicated servers (virtual or physical). Also LiveCode server users are also disadvantaged compared with PHP users as there is no FastCGI version of LiveCode that can be run in connection with nginx.

Re: LC Script in PHP File
You should be able to use file_get_contents in PHP to do what you want. Though
it will take longer to get the results from LiveCode than it would from PHP.
Here is an example:
PHP file:
!DOCTYPE html
html
head
meta http-equiv=content-type
content=text/html;charset=utf-8 /
titleTesting Getting Results From Website/title
/head
body
p
?php
$livecode_returned =
file_get_contents('http://localhost/webtest.lc');
echo($livecode_returned);
?
/p
/body
/html
LiveCode file:
?lc
if $_GET[name] then
put Peter into tName
else
put World into tName
end if
put header Content-Type: text/html
put html
put head
put titleMy LiveCode Server Test Page/title
put /head
put body
put h1My LiveCode Server Test Page/h1
put pHello tName from LiveCode Server/p
put pThe date is the internet date /p
put p the second char of 12345 /p
put /body
put /html
?
Results:
My LiveCode Server Test Page
Hello World from LiveCode Server
The date is Sun, 23 Nov 2014 14:27:24 +0800

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I am in the process of putting a web app together using the UserFrosting
system as a starting point.
I am slowly getting the hang of the framework and am now wishing to start
using LC Server to do some backend crunching to render the pages. (Im not
picking up PHP as fast as I hoped!)
The UserFrosting system bases all of its page contents in PHP Files by design.
For example the index file is index.php
My question is, am I able to call LC functions from within a PHP file?
For example, in the below page (which is a PHP file)
Red content...
?php
