¿How to run program library from a webpage(php)?
Hi
I would like to know ¿if it is possible to run fortran compiled libraries in a webpage?
Today I made a "fortran compiled library" (ddl) and a local program that send info to the fortran ddl file to process something and return data to the local program to present the info.
But when I present the project my boss request me to do the same but in a webpage and for real I had to much clue about what I need to do.
1.- In my job we had a dedicated server with linux as a OS and I presume that i need to install a fortran version, but what version should be better.
2.- In this case i assume that I need to do a php form with some input box to collect info and send it by get or post to a fortran compiled library and return the result to another php page.
- As you know in windows you can do a ddl compiled files to add them to a program and do "things", my question will be in linux can i do somekind a compiled library (like dll in windows) to call the compiled fortran module from the php page or there is another way to do this.
Sorry if this question are a little dump but im really newbie on linux.
Best regards.

On a web page in your browser, you are not normally allowed to directly run programs like that. Sometimes you can set up a program to run as a 'CGI' program thru the web server and browser but that requires the program to be set up to do that and return the correct header info for a web page. This is true on both Windows and Linux.
It doesn't sound like a good idea. A better way (as I'm a PHP'er) is to rewrite the feature using PHP since you're going to write a PHP form trying to use that Fortran ddl.
But if there's no other choice, the idea will be the following:
But if there's no other choice, the idea will be the following:
- modify the local program to accept command line parameters for whatever you want to send to the ddl
- modify the local program so that it output what you "present the info" as text strings
- in your php script, use the function exec() to run the program, get the output and present it on the webpage
// definition:
// string exec ( string $command [, array &$output [, int &$return_var ]] )ASKER
Hi guys
First of all thx a lot to take the time to answer my post, you guys are awesome.
At this moment I have access to the linux server (dedicated server), so that is not a problem.
I know that ddl files are from windows, bcause im not so good on linux i was asking about what is the alternative to ddl's on linux, bcause i know that thouse files usually only works on windows.
What kind of files do i need to compile to use it in my linux server to do the same in linux???
with the exec function in php could I run a fortran code in my server linux??
