perform PHP functions

[Natter]

Hi,

I open IE as Activex and load the site. If the HTML of this site contains JS scripts, I can execute them from my program using the method: execScript (name, type). How can I perform PHP functions ?

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "c:\harbour\contrib\hbcurl\hbcurl.ch"

function Main()

  ? "Hello world"

  ? callPHP( "www.fivetechsoft.com/getip.php" )

return nil

function callPHP( cUrl )

   local uValue

   curl_global_init()

   if ! empty( hCurl := curl_easy_init() )
        curl_easy_setopt( hCurl, HB_CURLOPT_URL, cUrl )
        curl_easy_setopt( hCurl, HB_CURLOPT_DL_BUFF_SETUP )

        if curl_easy_perform( hCurl ) == 0
           uValue = curl_easy_dl_buff_get( hCurl )
        endif
   endif

   curl_global_cleanup()

return uValue

Dear Antonio,
This seems very interesting.
Can you please explain what practical utility we have. How does this work?
Best regards,

Dear Otto,

Basically we can connect to any website that returns a value and use it
