Local Apache

[Homme, James]

Hi,

Is this the command that will cause a file to use an instance of Apache locally on Windows?

command.go.$(file.patterns.web)="http://localhost/$(FileNameExt)"

 

Thanks.

 

Jim

I suppose you tried, unsuccessfully?
First, it can be Apache or any other Web server, as long as it serves port 80...
Next, this will work only if your file is at the root of the Web server, the www,
public_html or whatever name it is given.
If it is outside of this dir, no hope (but I suppose you know this already).
If it is in a sub-dir, you might need to extract the path (in a Lua script), remove the
path of your root, change \ to / and append to http://localhost/

I just tried your command, with a file in my www folder, and it opened the page in Firefox
(my default browser).

Hi,
Thanks for your help.

Then I'm guessing that Windows is associating php files with the extension, because it seems like PHP.exe must be running instead of my web server. If I type http://localhost/file.php into the Run dialog, it works, so something else is preventing it from working. I will continue to research.

Well, I don't really understand the "PHP.exe must be running instead of my web server"
sentence. PHP should be integrated to your server, so Apache handles the request and then
hand it to PHP so it runs file.php.

Beware of how file extensions are handled.
For example, I have the following line in my setting:

command.go.$(file.patterns.php)=php -f "$(FileNameExt)"

So if I hit F5 in SciTE with a .php file being edited, it will be run instead of the
command for .html files.

In windows if the file type is registered to php then 'starting' its filepath will send it to php.exe
but windows usually sends urls to the default webbrowser.
If we send a file://c:/eg.txt URL to the webbrowser it can fetch the file (raw), there is no way for the browser to know what web urls might correspond to the file. One file can be served by multiple web servers -and differently. But i think a disk file path should have only one current copy... even in lilliput..

Anyway, this one liner can fetch a url and print it in the output but ive not looked into how to get it into a new or existing buffer, perhaps its only possible through the Lua system.

command.5.*=php -r "error_reporting(0); $content= file_get_contents('http://127.0.0.1/$(FileNameExt)'); if(!$content){echo 'timeout';}else{echo $content;}"
