requesting the run of a .php file?

23-Feb-10 4:01

And?? I assuming this is Active Directory, correct? You have to provide a bit more detail than what you already have. What code have you tried? Where did you run into a problem? Any error messages?

hi!

please tell me, can i request the running of a .php file located on a server via a C# program and maybe return some info some way?

i am really good at php but still suck at c# and need to finish a project for school and this would save alot of time...

thanks a lot in advance!!!
Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

It's possible, so long as the .php code you're running does not put up a user interface or require user interaction at all. Look into the WMI Win32_Process class and you'll find that you can launch remote processes, with some restrictions. Running code on a remote box is a HUGE security risk, so it's not going to be a simple little process to do.

it is all for a school project so security is not one of my problems...

anyway,i only need php to do some basic operations on serverside like connecting to databases, adding-retrieving information and so on,and i understand that i cannot use any user interface.
thanx for the info, awaiting some more exact instructions.

i am grateful,though!

I gave you everything you needed to do your own research and have a working concept in one or two hours (assuming you know nothing of WMI).

All you need are the classes in the System.Management namespace (covered in the MSDN documentation), the WMI Win32_Process class (a little Google goes a long way here), and some curiosity, imagination, and time. Anything beyond that is spoon feeding you the answers, and I'm not going to do you that injustice.

thanks a lot again! Smile | :)

FYI: you can run PHP code on your local Windows machine, all it takes is a package such as XAMPP[^]. That is what I use to develop and test my web site.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.
All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

thanks but...unfortunately, this is not the case...
i am a web developer and have a lot more experience than i have in C#...
i already have an apache server with a mysql database and php installed on my local machine, along with other tools but this project is meant to be run from any machine like a normal program, without the need of additional software installed,other than .net framework...
i have the possibility to use the advantage of server-side scripting,as this does not need the actual host of the program to own any other software packages.

thanks for trying though! Smile | :)

Would it help if you could run PHP on .NET[^]? The website has some very cool examples Smile | :)

thanks for answering,gonna try that out

damn!...seems to be some kind of extension to .net or something like that...(not really enough time to eat the whole information...)
unfortunately,i can't use no extensions for the project itself to work...
gonna keep as a last resort,though... Smile | :)

I Still don't know how exactly you want, let me ask this way:

You have a .php script on a Server and you have C# application on different computer. And you want to send info to that php and it returns you desired information, Like similar behaviour that uses torrent tracker, usably: 'http:\\sometorrent.org\annouce.php'

If so this is similar behaviour as web browser. Maybe this will help:

Hi All,

Thanks a lot.

This depends upon what you are doing, and where the text is coming from.
In general you'll probably need to look at TextWriter class, or one of the StreamWriter subclasses.

Please reshape that, as I know less then before. And make some example (code), so that we can suggest even faster way if awaible

I need to read a data from a COM port and write this in a file txt.
In COM port I receive a continuos fast flow of data (100 sentences at second). For each sentence, i need to write this sentence and make several calculations. If i disable the write metod, all operate in real time ... but if i write, after a few minutes, the processed sentences is not the real sended to a com port (not work in real time)..

Your reply makes no sense. There are various way of writing to a text file, and you haven't shown what you're using or why you need something faster.

Let me ask a few questions:

1) 100 sentences (how big?)
2) you asked for a fast method of writing to file, and in your explanation you tell us, that after a few minutes the processed data are not written to the COM port? file? where?
3) if you only need to write the file, WHY should it slow down after a few minutes? I´ve written terabytes of data to disk, an it was always fast, even after hours/days ... maybe an error in your writing/calculation logic?

This in no way means that the problem is with writing to the file.

WIthout seeing your code, it's impossible to tell you where it's going wrong.
