Render remote php script as a partial?

Hi,

I''ve got a little little check stock php script that uses the ODBTP
php extension.  Is there anyway to access it in a similar way to
render(:partial => "").

So something like:

render("http://www.remote.com/stock.php?part=PART")

Sure, you can use open_uri for that.  I''d be sure to use some kind of
fragment caching at least.

I have to do the same things for a few parts of a site I am building.  
Beware pulling remote pages from other servers. When that other  
server gets slow or goes off line you can get funny behavior in your  
rails app. Here is a method in my model that tries a few times to  
fetch a remote page and then fails after a predetermined amount of  
tries:


require ''net/http''
require ''uri''

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base

    def self.fetch_php(url, limit=5)
       data = ''''
       begin
          data = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url))
       rescue
          limit -= 1
          limit > 0 ? retry : raise
       end
         data.body
    end

end

Thanks Ezra,

Is there any advantages/disadvantages to using open-uri vs. Net::HTTP?

I believe that open-uri uses net/http or something very similar to do  
http requests. There is no speed difference with either. Open-uri is  
a bit simpler interface which is cool. Either one will work fine for  
this use.

Re: Render remote php script as a partial?

Thanks,

Is it possible to run a PHP script directly from within Rails?  Say
you had a PHP script in the public/ directory.  I know you can call it
directly such as http://localhost:3000/stock.php, but is it basically
too late once Rails has taken control to parse the PHP script?

Re: Re: Render remote php script as a partial?

Hi,

On my apache setup, I have PHP files in public/ that work fine.  I doubt
webrick (as implied by :3000) has a PHP interpreter built in, however.

Re: Render remote php script as a partial?

Sorry, I should''ve been more clear.  I''m wondering if you
could use
something like render to include the parsed results of a PHP file in a
Rails Controller or View.

Eg. <%=
render_this_old_php_script_parsed_of_course(''stock.php'') %>

Something like PHP include... but instead, we''re include''ing a
PHP
script from a Rails app  :)

Even better... I should see what would be involved in getting Ruby
bindings to ODBTP!

Re: Re: Render remote php script as a partial?

Yeah there is no problem serving php or cgi or even just plain html  
or shtml files from your public directory. It just depends on what  
webserver you are using. If you are using apache and php is set up  
for any other sites on your apache install then just drop your .php  
pages right inside of public or and subdirectory of public. If you  
are running lighttpd/fcgi then you need to install the php cli  
version either php-cgi or even better php-fcgi. Then you add this to  
your fastcgi.server part of your lighttpd.conf:


fastcgi.server =  (
    ".fcgi" => (
      "yhr_app" => (
        "socket" => "/tmp/yhr_app.socket",
        "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" ),
        "bin-path" =>
"/Users/admin/Sites/yhr/public/dispatch.fcgi",
      )
    ),
    ".php" =>
        ( "localhost" =>
            (
                "socket" => "/tmp/php-fcgi.socket",
                "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-fcgi",
                "bin-environment" => (
                "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
                "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "2000"
                                     )
            )
        )
)


     And include .php files can be indexes:

server.indexfiles           = ( "dispatch.fcgi",
"index.html",
"index.php" )


     Then you are good to go. Through a test.php file with the   
phpinfo(); command in it and make sure it works.

Cheers-
-Ezra

Re: Re: Render remote php script as a partial?

I think I should have read your post here a bit more completely.  
There is no way for rails to execute php scripts with just ruby. But  
you can either do like I showed with the fetch_pfp stuff or make sure  
you install the CLI version of php and then you can do something like  
this in your view:

<%= system("/usr/bin/php-cgi /path/to/your/php/include.php") %>

That will just shell out to the cli version of php and process the  
php script and print it in your view. IS that more like what you wanted?

Yes, thanks!  I think I''ll stick with your first Net::HTTP example
though, that way I don''t have to install the CLI version of PHP.

Thanks for your help!
