 ====== Use PHP with the Synchronet Web Server ====== ====== Use PHP with the Synchronet Web Server ======
-FIXME+Dynamic [[http://php.net/|PHP]] content may be served by the Synchronet Web Server using //PHP-CGI//. 
 + 
 +PHP applications will not magically have access to your Synchronet content (e.g. users, messages, files). 
 + 
 +===== Install PHP ===== 
 + 
 +Make sure you get PHP-CGI support. On *nix platforms, this is achieved by excluding the ''--with-apxs2'' option from the ''configure'' command-line during the installation process. 
 + 
 +===== Install PHP Content ===== 
 + 
 +Install your PHP application(s) into your ''[Web] Root directory'', as specified in your ''[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file. 
 + 
 +:!: Note: many PHP web applications require 3rd party database support (e.g. MySQL), which may need to be installed as well. 
 + 
 +===== Configure Web Server ===== 
 + 
 +Edit your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file, making sure that the ''CGIExtensions'' key value includes ''.php''. 
 + 
 +Example: 
 +<file> 
 +CGIExtensions=.cgi,.pl,.php 
 +</file> 
 + 
 +Edit your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:web_handler.ini]]'' file. 
 + 
 +If you're running Synchronet for Windows, edit the ''[CGI.Win32]'' section, otherwise (e.g. *nix, or MacOSX), edit the ''[CGI]'' section: 
 + 
 +Make sure the ''php'' key value points to the correct location of your ''php-cgi'' (or ''PHP-CGI.EXE'') file.  
 + 
 +Example (*nix): 
 + 
 +<file> 
 +[CGI] 
 +php = /usr/local/bin/php-cgi 
 +</file> 
 + 
 +Example (Windows): 
 + 
 +<file> 
 +[CGI.Win32] 
 +php = /php/php-cgi.exe 
 +</file> 
 + 
 +Edit your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:cgi_env.ini]]'' file, making sure it contains the following lines: 
 +<file> 
 +[REDIRECT_STATUS] 
 +value=200 
 +</file>
