Re: PHP Command Line Caller

[Tech Guru <techguru@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

Nice work!  While there are limited applications to calling PHP from RPG, it
is useful in some cases.

Jon Paris and I discussed some of the possibilities and inherent limitations
at COMMON last year.  This article in the link below is a direct result of
that conversation.

I use a tool called SCSPDF to convert my spool files to PDF and then use an
RPG/PHP email utility I wrote to distribute them.

Keep up the good work.  :-)
