I was wondering if it is possible to use local html data (i.e. "data:text/html," & $OtherStuff) to access PHP functions?  My little tests haven't gone well so far.  Here is what I have tried:

 

Table "PHP_test"; 1 text field:  html_code

Layout:  1 edit box for PHP_test::html_code, one web viewer

    The web viewer has the 'web address' defined to be "PHP_test::html_code".  I populate the field on the layout, it shows on the web viewer (or at least that is the idea).

 

I am exploring the possibility of using some PHP functions to achieve results on FM data in the database.  My first test was simple:

<html><head><title>PHP Test</title></head>
<body>Hello World</body>
</html>
 

 

OK, that works.  Now a simple PHP test:

data:text/html,
<html><head><title>PHP Test</title></head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello world" ; ?>
</body></html>

 

That doesn't work.  Neither does a call to:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

I just get a blank web viewer.

 

 

Is it not possible to have the web viewer run PHP in this manner?

 

Thanks,

J

(Hrmm...didn't get notification about this reply.  Sorry for the late response.)

 

Not doing anything 'served' up, just using FM's data URLs, defining the web viewer to be:  "data:text/html,   ...". 

 

So the full definition of the web viewer is:

 

data:text/html,
<html><head><title>PHP Test</title></head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello world" ; ?>
</body></html>

Assuming that PHP is installed on the local machine, shouldn't that render the same in a web viewer as a client?  (Hmmm...that doesn't work in my client, either.)
