I’d like to convert a PHP solution to a C++ solution. Currently I have my server-side written in PHP – not too much code, under a thousand lines. So I can rewrite it with no problem – I don’t need to use hip-hop or similar automations.

The question is how do I install/configure the correct software to support C++ code on the server side. I do not know how to invoke binaries by the web server via CGI.

PHP is easy, install XAMPP or similar write the PHP and you are pretty much up and going.

However, I want to run C++.

Thanks

    Three basic options:

    • do the whole thing in C++, making your program a standalone web server (possibly proxying through apache to provide things like ssl, static media, authentication etc.)
    • run C++ in a cgi-bin, through apache
    • make a PHP wrapper that shells out to the C++ part (this is a nice option if the performance-critical part is small, as you can still use the comfort that PHP’s garbage collection and string manipulation gives you)
