We have a CGI pageserver (.exe) written in Delphi running on IIS. We'd like to be able to embed PHP in these pages at some point in the near future--say, for a captcha or CMS integration--but are currently unsure how to go about this with IIS.
Using IIS, is there a way we can 'pipeline' a page through the PHP interpreter before or after passing it through our own CGI app?
If you want to embed PHP scripting in your Delphi application, just include a system call to the PHP executable, or embed the PHP interpreter using php4delphi.
This sounds like a really bad idea, but you could also use a PHP script to call the Delphi CGI, strip out the returned CGI headers, eval the content, and reset the headers in the PHP output. Only do this is you are very confident that you understand the risks of using eval.
