oh that's neat! does it use a PHP ODBC connection to read directly from BR! internal files?

Me and Gabe just got done setting up a proof of concept for displaying your BR data on a web page. The entire page is scripted in BR actually. Works great and is really fast. At least in Linux. Haven't tried it on Windows but it should work, also. You can check out an extremely simple demo at:

http://dsg.doesntexist.org/brphp/PhpRun/fileio.php

We'll be demonstrating it at the conference if we can get it in. Its all open source.

No, this is just a program for my client to send out his statements to his clients at the end of the month. I think David's I-Mail Monitor is what I need. Many thanks

My software is for doctor’s offices, so HIPAA pretty much rules out anything but a secure connection or encryption.

I bring this up because there are a lot of other cases where “the world” doesn’t need access to the information being transmitted. Has the client given any thought to security?

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

Post by Gabriel »

We wrote a simple system that allows you to call BR library functions from Php Web pages. Your Php page simply calls the BR function it needs. BR Launches, runs your function and then exits. You design your functions to generate a display file with the data (usually formatted in HTML), and php displays the resulting data files.

The functions in the example page (http://dsg.doesntexist.org/brphp/PhpRun/fileio.php) are very simple. You pass the function the name of your file layout, and the BR function generates a file called output.html that contains the data from that data file.

This website is the whole Data Crawler, online. If you uploaded your data files and your file layouts to our web server, you'd see your own data there. And it took less then an hour to build. All the code is written in BR. The PHP is very minimal.

It is now fast and easy to make BR enabled web pages, and this technique works for any version of BR.

Do you want to enable your customers VP of Sales to see the latest sales data online? Simply write a BR library function that prints this data to a display file, call it with a two line php script, and voila!

Nope. The PHP Server simply launches a copy of BR and BR creates the html file directly by printing to a display file.

No ODBC, no learning anything new, no complications, no mess.

The entire thing is written in BR, and we can write a php BR Web Page to provide access to ANY data from your BR programs.

Its much simpler than that. PHP just executes a BR function and then displays the output on the page. Were in the process writing a class that will handle all the basic input and output from BR so you can just write a library functions that builds web pages with only a few lines of PHP. Everything else will be scripted in BR.

Actually, something we learned from this, you can't call a function in a function library from a proc, or else BR becomes unstable and sometimes (randomly) crashes. I understand Gordon and Dan are working to fix that problem in 4.2.

You similarly can't call a function in a function library from the execute statement.

Instead you have to generate an entire BR program and run the program and call the function from that program.

But yes, the process is handled by a script.

Its actually a good solution for high volume usage. Php is extremely fast, and BR is extremely fast, especially when working with simple input and output to BR internal files and display files only.

The actual data sent from client to server and back to client is very minimal. We're talking probably less then a k per page view. Even with a bare bones home/hobbyist Internet connection, you can have hundreds of thousands of views per month.

BR is only active for a split second while the html is being generated. You would only have a problem if 10 users clicked the button at the exact same millisecond.

Nobody has to wait, there are no lines to stand in.

The main page of the wiki takes 1.4 seconds.

Chris Shields wrote:
I guess it depends on what you mean by high volume. Right now the script takes about 1.1 seconds to execute. A plain html page with with two words takes about .2 seconds. So there is about a one second overhead to executing php and br. I'll see if different versions of BR improve this. I'll bet with some tweaking we'll get this down to just a fraction of a second.

Its actually a good solution for high volume usage. Php is extremely fast, and BR is extremely fast, especially when working with simple input and output to BR internal files and display files only.

The actual data sent from client to server and back to client is very minimal. We're talking probably less then a k per page view. Even with a bare bones home/hobbyist Internet connection, you can have hundreds of thousands of views per month.

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

Post by christopherroyshields ... »

I guess it depends on what you mean by high volume. Right now the script takes about 1.1 seconds to execute. A plain html page with with two words takes about .2 seconds. So there is about a one second overhead to executing php and br. I'll see if different versions of BR improve this. I'll bet with some tweaking we'll get this down to just a fraction of a second.

BR is only active for a split second while the html is being generated. You would only have a problem if 10 users clicked the button at the exact same millisecond.

Nobody has to wait, there are no lines to stand in.

This seems like a great solution for low volume usage. Is the BR Script execute as a proc?

Its much simpler than that. PHP just executes a BR function and then displays the output on the page. Were in the process writing a class that will handle all the basic input and output from BR so you can just write a library functions that builds web pages with only a few lines of PHP. Everything else will be scripted in BR.

[BR_forum] statements on the internet

Post by Susan Smith »

Charlie,

Funny that you ask about this. David is going to talk about this EXACT thing at the conference. He will show a little program that allows you to use NWP to print to PDF automatically and then send those documents out in Email through Email Monitor! Sounds like it's exactly what you need. Do you use NWP (WIN:) now in your printing? Or are you using PRN: or DIRECT: ?

The conference is 38 days from today. Will that be too late if the client knows you can deliver in 60 days?

As long as your reports are printing using “HTML”, it’s fairly simple to create an HTML report, and e-mail it.

As you already posted, David’s E-Mail solution is very nice.

If you have a Lower Volume, you can actually setup outlook as a “Printer”.

Using the W95Print.Bat,


IF "%2"=="EMAIL" GOTO EMAIL



:EMAIL
COPY %1 %TEMP%CLSEMAIL.HTM
START “C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11OUTLOOK.EXE” %TEMP%CLSEMAIL.HTM
DEL %1
GOTO END



You will probably have to tweak the process, but outlook will launch and “Attach” your printed report. The user will have to fill out the rest of the information.

In the 0 development category, it’s a nice solution.

We also tell our users to print to MS-Excel, or Internet Explorer and then use the “File-Send” option to e-mail from there.
