Comments on: Bringing Javascript to the server using PHP * update * http://www.bombstrike.org/2009/02/bringing-javascript-to-the-server/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:04:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: scotts http://www.bombstrike.org/2009/02/bringing-javascript-to-the-server/comment-page-1/#comment-1453 scotts Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:56:12 +0000 http://www.bombstrike.org/?p=37#comment-1453 This is incredible.. exactly what I was looking for to create a mini-language, and so easy to add the custom objects I want. One thing I found after a couple hours of tinkering with it: I don't see a way to register a function that's a part of class. With other PHP functions that take callbacks as parameters, when you want to callback to an object's method, you put an array in place of the name of the function with the object as the first parameter and the name of the method as the second, e.g.: $js->registerFunction( array( $this, 'print' ), 'print' ); (this currently gives a segmentation fault, I guess because it's expecting a string, not an array, and there's no error checking present) Another nice feature would be to get the details of a javascript error back to PHP (type of error, line number ,etc) so it can be returned by PHP in a sanitized way. Just a couple of features to think about for a future release. But this is really great and already extremely useful. Thanks for the work! This is incredible.. exactly what I was looking for to create a mini-language, and so easy to add the custom objects I want.

One thing I found after a couple hours of tinkering with it: I don’t see a way to register a function that’s a part of class. With other PHP functions that take callbacks as parameters, when you want to callback to an object’s method, you put an array in place of the name of the function with the object as the first parameter and the name of the method as the second, e.g.:
$js->registerFunction( array( $this, ‘print’ ), ‘print’ );

(this currently gives a segmentation fault, I guess because it’s expecting a string, not an array, and there’s no error checking present)

Another nice feature would be to get the details of a javascript error back to PHP (type of error, line number ,etc) so it can be returned by PHP in a sanitized way.

Just a couple of features to think about for a future release. But this is really great and already extremely useful. Thanks for the work!

But if the library is pretty independent and work only with basic stuff or the Math lib, it should be okay.

I am building a new management tool to replace our aging flagship and needed a way to allow my users to write scriptlets for the server side from the user interface. This allows me to put their scripts in a VERY limited javascript context with a few API objects. This way they can safely alter the server behavior without leaking privileges. THANK YOU!

Is it possible with your library? Hi Christophe,

Please, I have a mobile site (to be run from a mobile phone) and I would like to use your library to execute JavaScript code, based on some remote JavaScript library, server-sidely and return the result of this (a URL) to the celullar.

Is it possible with your library?

PHP was out of question and writing a small language was a pain. SpiderMonkey is well tested and provide Javascript, a language most website integrators know well. And I'm pretty sure other people will found a usage to this :D One of the idea I had was providing a powerful language to our integration team that they would already know, while preventing them to access too much things.
