how do i Use matlab written scripts and C++ written scripts in php?

hanhao

i have the matlab and C++ script, they return values which i wish to display on my website with php

the only way i know is to rewrite the whole matlab script and C++ into php form which is very tedious

is there anyway to do this?

Use [man]shell_exec[/man] (if such functions are enabled on your server) to run the program via the CLI and store its output into a PHP variable.

is there anyway to make the webserver understand matlab language ?

i have physical and full access to the webserver so doing any configurations there should be ok

Well, I've never even heard of matlab before now, but... doesn't it have some kind of compiler you run on the shell to execute your code and produce output?

hanhao

it is required that the program be a shell or dos program?
matlab is not a shell or dos program. it's a windows program

Um.. I think you'll find matlab is cross-platform. See here

Your entire line of questioning is a little off centre. For starters, there is no such thing as C++ scripts.

What is it you need to do exactly? And are you really sure you even need matlab?

For starters, there is no such thing as C++ scripts.

Actually, there are, with C++ interpreters such as CINT and Ch.
