I2059: Installing the PHP interpreter plug in modules
Summary
Product: FreeProxy

Note: 2059 (Superceded by Version 4.00)
Date reported: 11 June 2005, 22 August 2007

Issue Detail
Installing the php interpreter plugin

Solution

Download and setup
  • As a start, read the plug-in technical notes and the config guide. See here.
  • Download the php 5 install file from http://www.php.net. Unpack the downloaded file to an appropriate directory. For example C:php5.
  • You can either download the php5 install from the download area or set up manually. To download do the following:
    • Download the php5 install for version 5.0.4.4.
    • The install expects php to have been installed in c:\php5
    • Stop FreeProxy
    • Set up a IP Service - see the help file for details
    • Install the FreeProxy-php
    • Start FreeProxy
    • test by typing http://<hostname>/phptest/test1.php into a browser. <hostname> is the name of the server running FreeProxy.
    • If you install a different version of php than 5.0.4.4, then overwrite the 2 DLLs php5isapi.dll and php5ts.dll and copy the file php.ini as described below for manual installations, taking the files from the php install directory
  • For a manual installation
    • Copy the files php5isapi.dll and php5ts.dll to (Win98/Me) C:\WINDOWS or (WinNT/2000) C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or (WinXP, 2003) C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.
    • Copy file php.ini-recommended to the same windows directory you copied the DLL files to. Rename this file to php.ini.
    • Edit/Create the windows registry key HKLM/Software/Hand-Crafted Software/FreeProxy/Plugin if it has not already been created. Under Plugin, create a new key called Implementation. Under Implementation create a new key called PHP. Click on the PHP key you have just created and create the following 4 string values:
      • Description with a value of PHP Interpreter
      • DLL with a value of php5isapi.dll
      • ScriptExtension with a value of PHP
      • Type with a value of ISAPIEX
    • Edit the windows registry key HKLM/Software/Hand-Crafted Software/FreeProxy/Plugin. Under Plugin, create a new key called VirtualPaths if it has not already been created. Under VirtualPaths create a new key called PHPTestApplication. Under PHPTestApplication create the following 4 string values:
      • ImplementationKey with a value of PHP.
      • PhysicalPath with a value of C:\temp\phptest.
      • PluginDescription with a value of PHP Tests.
      • URLPath with a value of /phptest
    • Copy the code in the section below and place into a file in directory C:\temp\phptest with the name of FPTest.php. If you store the file in different directory, then the name of the directory should be placed in the PhysicalPath registry value (replacing C:\temp\phptest)
The code for the file C:\temp\phptestFPTest.php is as follows:
Code:
<html>

<head>
<title>FreeProxy/FreeWeb test script</title>
</head>
<body>
<print>
</body>
</html>
 

Testing
To test the plugin, make sure you have set up a FreeProxy IP Service. If not, in the FreeProxy Control Centre
  • Click on IP Service.
  • Set up the web service.
  • Save FreeProxy
Now Start FreeProxy. Start a browser session on a client PC and connect to the server running FreeProxy (assume the server running FreeProxy is called myserver.) Use the following URL.

http://myserver/phptest/FPTest.php

You should see a response similar to this:
Code:
