Fortunately Klaas Biker informed me that Iulian Virtejanu has cross compiled a PHP CGI version that seems to work significantly better.
Here is Iulian's blog entry: PHP and Lighttpd for Android
Iulian gave me the permission to use it in PAW, so I have updated the PHP Plug-in to version 0.3.
There is one known issue:
system(...) does not work.
It is because system('pwd') actually invokes a hardcoded /bin/sh -c 'pwd' - and /bin/sh is not available on Android.
Iulian has submitted a bug report to PHP: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60081
If you find more bugs, please let me know. I will forward them.
When you are root, make
ReplyDelete(make / read-write)
mkdir /bin
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /bin/sh
(make / readonly)
And then you have made /bin/sh as symlink.
Hi, I'm having a pretty severe issue with this...
ReplyDeletephpinfo() sometimes (approx 1/10) fails on a vanilla installation of this plugin.
The behavior is that the HTTP response PAW returns 0 data, and the browser does not refresh.
It is visible if you use:
approx 1/10 times this script will not execute, you can tell because the microtime does not increase.
The same behavior can be caused by generating a php parse error, eg:
<?php
echo microtime();
echo 'hello wo
I believe the reason for the phpinfo() fail is that paw is not reading the entirety of the php script, and sometimes only executes up till mid-line..
I don't know whether this is a PAW issue or an issue with Lulian's binary, however I believe he has generated a binary of PHP 5.4 so perhaps you could ask him for permission to use it in a new update of PAW?
This issue is causing my MVC to fail approx 19/20 times, so it is very serious for any larger-scale applications...
Thanks!
Dean.
That first example did not display, presumably because I closed the <?php tag.
DeleteIt was supposed to read:
<?php
echo microtime();
phpinfo()
Is this also happening with the 5.3.6 version of PHP?
