Re: node.js AND php?

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm a bit confused by the question about attaching node.js to the PHP
command line. Are you asking how to evoke PHP command-line scripts from
node.js? Do you envision returning results from the PHP command line to
node.js? Could you provide a bit more context?

My understanding is that under IBM i, node.js can make system calls through
the XMLSERVICE service program. Theoretically, you could call a CLP which
evokes QP2TERM, then evokes php, and passes a php script file name as a
parameter. But I have no idea how you might return anything to node.js
under that interface.

Rather than running PHP from a command line, maybe you should run it under
the HTTP server, and evoke PHP web services from node.js, using node's
socket interface.

Again, what do you have in mind?
