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_globals on too, but that doesn't work either.

At a guess you'll probably need to set REQUEST_METHOD so it knows to
check QUERY_STRING.

When I set REQUEST_METHOD I get security errors.... I haven't been able to
get around them.
I did what it said, and turned force_cgi_redirect to off. Still didn't fix
the problem

I just checked and they wernt security errors, but it says it can't file the
file.

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.
