This looks very interesting... should be helpful in getting me more acquainted with perl. To install on Lenny, I first installed php5-dev, but unfortunately that still didn't do it. Looks like this module needs the --embed option set in the php interpreter to be used. Going to have to hold of on this to install it on a testing environment rather than a development machine.
Now I'm trying to get PHP installed in such a way I can use it... I tried getting the perl makefile to use the php headers installed by debian, but it wants to look in /usr/local/*. Hmmm.
UPDATE: I was able to get this going. :-)
That put the new php into /usr/local. Then I installed PHP::Interpreter manually after trying to get it via CPAN, which didn't happen. When I tried to use it, I got complaints about Exporter, so I added that as a use include, and it worked! Getting it to work with mod_perl and even as a regular cgi-bin file was challenging, but I got it to go:
#!/usr/bin/perl use Exporter; use PHP::Interpreter; print "Content-Type: text/html\ n\ n"; my $php = PHP::Interpreter->new(); my $old_hander = $php->set_output_handler(\ $scalar); my $output = $php->eval(q^ phpinfo(); ^); my $outbuf = $php->get_output; print $outbuf;
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $php = PHP::Interpreter->new();
my $scalar;
my $old_hander = $php->set_output_handler(\
$scalar);
my $output = $php->eval(q^ phpinfo(); ^);
my $outbuf = $php->get_output;
$r->print($outbuf);
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
Why bother doing this? The novelty of it is pretty good by itself!
