Hmmm... something to look into, just thought about it since I saw the support thread about php-cgi .. I have been using exec('php some-script.php'); calls from *.xjs scripts successfully ... just always assumed sbbs->php->mysql just worked because of the way I use it ...

There are two ways to run php:

* php-cgi - this is like exec "php script.php" and is quite expensive. IE: Each time a php scripted that needs to executed, sbbs would need to exec it (an expensive OS operation).

* php-fpm - this is like having php in daemon mode - where it is ready to run a php script. Its called over a socket or a TCP connection (normally to port 9000).

php-fpm is by far the better way, its more effecient and way more scalable, but takes memory and (a little) cpu while waiting for work. But SBBS can do both.

Deuce has just fixed the cgi method, there was a problem there (which is what I'm trying to use). It works, and I followed the wiki too. You'll need to recompile SBBS from today for those fixes.

And that (now fixed) problem only affected sbbs when run non-daemonized.

Well, there are actually several ways to run php... as for SBBS related, there is a 3rd way ... for many years I have been executing php scripts from *.js, ssjs, xjs scripts using ... some php scripts I have run as timed events ie: SCFG->... COMMAND LINE php /sbbs/mods/blacklist.php ... just sayin

COMMAND LINE php, is php-cgi.

command line php is php-cli it's definitely different.

Actually, I was talking in the context of execution. I can see how others may have read my original reply differently.

Both php-cgi and php invoke php "scripts" via a command shell.

php-fpm calls scripts by connecting to a socket - its a permanently running daemon.

But yes, while each of the 3 methods "run a script", they do some things slighly differently when running said script.

I finally got around to checking, the solution for me was to run php-cgi.exe -b
