Hi,
I am totally new to PHP and I'm trying to learn more about it. Basically, what I am trying to accomplish is the following:
I have several UNIX applications that all require the same inputs. I have automated the process of running each application by using some awk scripts and creating a UNIX shell wrapper. However, I would like to take it one step further and provide a web-based tool for submittal of these inputs, which would then launch the UNIX shell wrapper. The results from each application could be written to a static HTML file with variables in it. Ultimately, the user would submit data, the jobs would run, and the results would be spit back to the web page. Someone told me PHP is probably the best tool for doing this provided that I am running on an Apache server, but I haven't seen any posts that explain how to do this. Could someone please help me out. Thanks in advance.
Matt
