Writing a custom server.

[octopi]

Hello, I am writing a custom server(www), and I need to use php.

Right now I have it set up to just envoke php on the command line if the
requested document ends in .php.

I assumed that all i would have to do is set the QUERY_STRING environment
varible for php to be able to use 'GET' data. But it doesn't set anything.

Does anyone know what environment varibles I need to set, so that php will
put my data into either
$_POST, or $_GET

btw, I have register_global s on too, but that doesn't work either.

Is that, "can't find the file"? In that case set SCRIPT_NAME and
PATH_TRANSLATED . You really ought to ensure you're setting most of the
variables in the CGI spec to make sure everything else works.

I'm midly surprised it was necessary to write a custom server as there
are web servers for almost every occasion out there. :-)

Try looking at the PHP source code. There are modules for the different
servers supported by PHP, and you should be able to glean something helpful
from it.
