Python PPHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.
PPHP
This is a spinoff of PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) that uses Python instead of the PHP language.
How to use it:
To host the server, simply run python -m PPHPServer
To execute Python code inside a file, use:
<?pphp #code here (line breaks permitted) ?>
and output will be recorded in the same way as PHP - through stdout.
Example:
<p>Request method: <?pphp echo(_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) ?></p>
Some special globals:
echo(text) - this is equivalent to sys.stdout.write(text)
escape(text) - this is equivalent to PHP’s htmlspecialchars - escapes special HTML characters.
__script__ - this is the entire script currently being executed
__db__ - this is the server’s database, more documentation below
_GET - this is the GET data as a dictionary
_POST - this is the POST data as a dictionary
_REQUEST - this is a combination of _GET and _POST
_SERVER - this is the equivalent of PHP’s $_SERVER, with some exceptions described below.
In _SERVER, the keys REQUEST_TIME, HTTP_ACCEPT, HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, HTTP_HOST, HTTP_REFERER, HTTPS, REMOTE_HOST, SERVER_ADMIN, SERVER_SIGNATURE, SCRIPT_NAME, and SCRIPT_URI are all not available; and the key GATEWAY_INTERFACE returns the version of the cgi module, not the gateway interface.
Data for a server can be stored using the global __db__. This is simply a dictionary - you can store and retrieve values as such. Data in __db__ is stored as JSON in the file __DATABASE__.json, under ~/.pphp on Mac or Linux or %appdata%/.pphp on Windows. Changes to __db__ will only show up in __DATABASE__.json after all scripts have finished running. WARNING: Moving the file will reset that script’s data!
Thanks to:
