[Refdb-users] refdbc and php4

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi,

I have to admit that my PHP knowledge doesn't get me any further than
creating my (static) personal website. I've never tried using RefDB
from PHP.

Anyway, there's a few thoughts:

- there might be a quoting issue when running commands from PHP that
  contain quoted arguments. Do the PHP docs mention anything like
  this?

- Does PHP cause refdbc to run under an account that is not allowed to
  read the global config file?

- What happens if you pass all configuration parameters on the refdbc
  command line in your PHP code?

I'd be glad if RefDB could be convinced to cooperate with PHP. This
would allow to build a nice user interface, much better than the crude
CGI stuff we've got now.

regards,
Markus
