I am writing a web server in C# and I’m trying to add support

  • 0

I am writing a web server in C# and I’m trying to add support for PHP. I have it mostly working, except I don’t know how to past GET and POST data to the PHP executable when i pass the file to it. I’ve been testing with GET since I haven’t gotten to getting POST requests handled on the server, and I have the string of the arguments that gets passed separated, but I don’t know how to feed the information to the php parser. Some tips would be appreciated.

    For GET:
    The Easy Way (That i’ve found):

    php-cgi.exe <script-file-name> <parameter1>=<value1> <parameter2>=<value2> [...] <parameterN>=<valueN>

    The Harder Way (via php-cgi and windows cli) would be:

    SET "QUERY_STRING=<parameter1>=<value1>&<parameter2>=<value2>&[...]&<paramterN>=<valueN>"
SET SCRIPT_NAME=<script-file-name>
SET REQUEST_METHOD=GET
SET REDIRECT_STATUS=0
php-cgi.exe

    I’d assume there would be a way to set environment variable via C#/.Net. The environment variables would have to be unset after php-cgi.exe completes.

    More info for CGI environment variables you could set (and CGI in general) at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875.txt. Might also be of use would be PHP’s $_SERVER variable documentation. Security considerations for running PHP as CGI also in PHP documentation at php.net.
