Re: [Cocoadialog-users] Help with incorporating with Platypus/PHP/Cocoadialog

[Mark A. S. <ma...@sp...>]

Hello Andy,

My recommendation is to just simply not use bash. Since your main 
program is in PHP anyway, just run CocoaDialog from PHP (within your 
'mm.php' program).

PHP also uses backticks for capturing program output, if i recall 
correctly.  So just put a dollar sign in front of those variables, add a 
semicolon to the end of each statement, and you should be good to go.

Here's a simple inputbox example for php:
$return_values = `/path/to/CocoaDialog standard-inputbox --text "hello 
world" --string-output`;
list($button, $value) = explode("\n", $return_values);
echo "User typed $value and pressed the $button button.\n";

hope this helps.
