    communication between php and webserver

    Hi,

    can anybody point me to some reading on how communication between the webserver and php is
    established?

    I'd like to make php available to my own webserver software.

      What kind of server-software are you using?
      IIS? Apache?

          No, I wrote one myself. It is a simple server, now capable of serving html pages, jpg and gif files.
          I wrote it for standalone delivery of my application. In this case I don't want to require the user
          to install a full blown apache or other web server.

          Now I want to implement php support into my server program.

          I already called the php.exe with i/o redirection from my program. This works if I don't need any
          parameters. I'd like to further extend this and pass parameters to php. But how?

          For example, my server obtains the request "GET /test.php?value1 =a&value2=b". Now I need a way to
          hand over value1 and value2 to php.exe. Is this possible?

          (I thought of something like "php -q test.php value1=a value2=b", but this won't work for obvious
          reason)

          Isn't there any reading on this topic available?

          Googling didn't help me much yet.

          TNX

              If your software runs on Windows, the easiest way is to implement the
              ISAPI interface then use the existing PHP ISAPI module.

                      Thanks for you hints.

                      ISAPI includes CGI. I did not know that both are a common standard and not especially dependent on
                      php. I choode CGI because it was easier to implement and more portable in my programming context.
                      Performance is not an issue for me.

                      CGI basically is setting environment variables. On Windows this can be illustrated by a tiny batch
                      (*.bat) file. It reflects the minimum set of variables I found and the subtle ^ escape of the
                      &-sign.

                      @echo off
                      set REDIRECT_STATUS =CGI
                      set REQUEST_METHOD= GET
                      set SCRIPT_FILENAME =test.php
                      set QUERY_STRING=va lue1=a^&value2= b
                      e:/programme/php/php.exe

                      Well I don't write it into a batch. I open a pipe to cmd.exe, transmit these lines and collected the
                      output to send it to the client brower. This way, now my server has a minimalistic support for php.
