PHP code test

[instrucrat1]

Hi
I am learning PHP.
I need some help. Can some one tell if PHP code needs any compilation of source to form executable object?

Test code from zend is working fine but when I copied same code and try to run then it is showing same code in hex but for copy from zend echo is perfect

trying to call using -
CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) +
PARM('/usr/local/zend/core/bin/php-cli' +
'/www/zendcore/htdocs/QBase/MYEMAIL.php')

Can some one please help???

thanks so much

Re: PHP code test

PHP does not have to be compiled...it's a scripting language that is executed at run-time similar to javascript, etc.

Re: PHP code test

When I am running this it is always showing only hex but same existing code giving correct output.
Is there any setup or setting i need to do before running PHP

Since you have not shown us your script we have no idea how your output is formed or indeed where you see it.

Many people use the approach to launching a php script that you are describing without problems - so it has to be related to the script/environment where it is running.

Give us more info and we may be able to help.

Hi,
I am running this script in iSeries V5R3.

Below is script which is already existing and giving send status properly. I copied same with other name and trying to run it but it is giving weared output like all special char.


(CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) +
PARM('/usr/local/zend/core/bin/php-cli' +
'/www/zendcore/htdocs/QBase/MYEMAIL.php') )

<?php
echo "<h3>Sending e-mail...</h3>";

// The message
$message = "Line 1 Line 2 Line 3";

// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
// $message = wordwrap($message, 70);

// Send
$status = mail('xyz.nam@yahoo.com', 'My Subject', $message);

If ($status == TRUE ) {
echo "Status = SEND";
} else {
echo "Status = FAILED";
}
?>

Re: PHP code test

OK, I found reason. When I was copying to STMF that time I was not changing CCSID to 1252 so was causing problem.
Thank you
