PHP can run in two modes:
- as native module
- in cgi redirection mode
It actually should be possible, two let RSPs behave quite similar to
PHP pages.
CGI redirection mode is actually quite interesting:
- you register a MIME type with an extension, e.g.
application/x-httpd-rebol with .r or .rsp
- then you tell apache, that whenever an resource of type
application/x-httpd-rebol gets requested, it should take the file and
pipe it thru an CGI.
so you'll need some components:
- an http-accessible directory where CGIs can be executed (usually
cgi-bin)
- a small rebol CGI, that reads everything it gets from stdin,
processes this with build-markup and 'prints the result to stdout
- an appropriate apache configuration to do CGI redirection of all
.rsp files to this CGI
i assume that you've got a place where to put CGIs. Now add the
following lines to your apache config:
AddType application/x-httpd-rebol .rsp
Action application/x-httpd-rebol "/cgi-bin/rsp.cgi"
Write the small REBOL CGI outlined before, and place it into your
cgi-bin directory (using the extension .cgi).
Give it a try and do not hesitate to ask if problems arise :)
