PHP Embedded (PHP4MCU)

I started thinking about how to get a PHP framework to work on a small mid-range microcontroller like ESP8266 family, ARM cortex & PIC MCUs.

WebServer with CGI Interface (webserver.c) WIP

C/C++
This code implements our Webserver with CGI interface so that we can pass .php file to a php cgi binary to parse, compile and return output back to Webserver. Save it as webserver.c in your project folder. We will be adding, removing and adapting on this as time goes on in our series and parts to follow.

Webserver (based on feature rich Mongoose being modified WIP)

Our Webserver based platform this is needed for out project. Download Mongoose.c and Mongoose.h from the link above or below. Save them into the same folder where you have saved the Webserver.c file.

PH7 Interpreter (A custom hand written PHP interpreter by symisc.net)

Our PHP interpreter need for project. Download ph7.c and ph7.h from the link below. Save them into the same folder where you have saved the Webserver.c file.
