are C# and PHP workable together?

[brendanmcdonagh]

Hi

I have been left with no chice but to learn a bit about c# as thisis the only language acertainapi is written in.

With the api comes a project which i have opened,compiled and used succesfully. It is mainly just a Form .cs file with the functions within that class.

I feel confident enough to fiddle about with (c#) form code to change the way it gets it's variable (currently from text boxes).

I put together a php page the other day which receives it's variable from the url of the page and then queries databases locally.

My challenge is to link my variables from url in php page to query the database that the form is querying.

Possible?

I'm stuck on the C# side obviously because i've never used it. How is C# used within a website?

Please help!

I don't know C#, you might look at tutorials on how to use it on website. I don't believe there's any library in PHP that will let you execute C# code (then again I haven't searched, I'm pulling that out of my ... head)

URL variables seems to be standard so if you want to pass variable through URL to a C# page (or vice versa), you can! POST might even work too. They're HTTP protocol, not PHP.

Did I dance around the answer or did that answer your question?

Thanks for Dan,

I have been learning C# all day, what a nightmare!

Oh well, got it working the way you suggested,no need to use php when c# does the same.

Just trying to view it now, apache won't show it, 123-reg doesn't show it, any ideas anybody?

Regards

I don't know whether you can directly use the C# code inside php?

But there is something called as SWIG(Simplified Wrapper and Interface generator).

It allows you to wrap all global data structure(Class or structure etc) and procedures(function or methods) in to a intermediate php file. And you can directly access all those C# functions just like normal php function.

There may be other alternatives.
