Add support to execute php scripts

[josepsanzcamp]

Hi.

I want to use this software to package my application, but requires PHP. Some idea to do it???

Exists 2 simple options:

• Disable the javascript http server and use the internal server provided by php (available from the php 5.4)
• Add support to the javascript http server to execute the php-cgi

Any suggestions will be appreciated

For the curiousous: my application is SaltOS. Currently is focused to be used in a server using the traditional client-server arquitecture. My goal now is to provide a simple solution to all users that want to use my application in a local environment without the complications that has the installation on a server.

Reading the technical requirements for SaltOS, it seems that you also need MariaDB/MySQL? Maybe you could look into bundling a more complete server stack with your application? Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apache%E2%80%93MySQL%E2%80%93PHP_packages and see if you can find a good candidate software for this task. If you use unprivileged ports you should be able to start/stop these services along with the application.

The idea is to use SQLite that not requires nothing more. Currently, I have preparate the win32 and mac packages of SaltOS using the webapp-xul-wrapper and php.

I another time.

I have preparated the php packages for windows, mac, linux 32 and 64 bits. I modified the launch scripts to execute the php as server, and to stop it when xulrunner is stops. Works as expected. In a few days, I expect to publish this new packages that include SaltOS + xulrunner + php to execute without installation the SaltOS application. Intended for end users that don't want or don't know how setup a traditional apache + php server.

Thanks by your project. I saved a lot of time!!!.

Hi, would you mind sharing your modified launch scripts with the community?

I another time. I have done a fork and I have applied my changes to your original code at https://github.com/josepsanzcamp/webapp-xul-wrapper.

I have pending to update the code to the 1.2.0 release.

Great, thanks! There is a problem with the mac version, where should I file an issue? sf or github (for the latter case please enable issues on github for your fork)

The 1.2.0 version is ready very soon...

Hi.

I have added the reference of your project to the SaltOS project website:

• http://www.saltos.net/portal/en/content/12/os-projects-used-by-saltos.htm

Without your work, SaltOS would not have a Desktop version!!!
