LC Script in PHP File

Sun Nov 23 06:22:50 EST 2014

Okay, this seems to make sense.

Thanks for your help, I'll give it a go tomorrow..

I'm slowly getting there with PHP, it's just taking a little longer than it took me to pick up LC...

You should be able to use file_get_contents in PHP to do what you want. Though it will take longer to get the results from LiveCode than it would from PHP.

Here is an example:

PHP file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
       <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
       <title>Testing Getting Results From Website</title>
   </head>
   <body>
       <p>
         <?php
           $livecode_returned = file_get_contents('http://localhost/webtest.lc');
           echo($livecode_returned);
         ?>
       </p>
   </body>
</html>

LiveCode file:
<?lc
   if $_GET["name"] <> "" then
     put "Peter" into tName
  else
     put "World" into tName
  end if
   put header "Content-Type: text/html"
   put "<html>"
   put "<head>"
   put "<title>My LiveCode Server Test Page</title>"
   put "</head>"
   put "<body>"
   put "<h1>My LiveCode Server Test Page</h1>"
   put "<p>Hello" && tName && "from LiveCode Server</p>"
   put "<p>The date is" && the internet date & "</p>"
   put "<p>" & the second char of "12345" & "</p>"
   put "</body>"
   put "</html>"
?>

Results:
My LiveCode Server Test Page

Hello World from LiveCode Server

The date is Sun, 23 Nov 2014 14:27:24 +0800

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am in the process of putting a web app together using the UserFrosting system as a starting point.
I am slowly getting the hang of the framework and am now wishing to start using LC Server to do some backend crunching to render the pages. (Im not picking up PHP as fast as I hoped!)

The UserFrosting system bases all of its page contents in PHP Files by design.

For example the index file is index.php

My question is, am I able to call LC functions from within a PHP file?

For example, in the below page (which is a PHP file)
Red content...
