How to use php with fast-cgi webserver example

[param-esec]

I would like to create a webpage using php to retrieve user's input and settings. I want to confirm if php is supported by ACAP. If not, could you please suggest an alternative method to obtain user inputs? Can I achieve this using html and javascript?

Hi @param-esec , thanks for your question!

We don't have any example today but javascript is often used in ACAP applications.

Here's a small outline how I would go about to try this:

• Based on the web-server-using-fastcgi example.
• Create a directory html in ACAP application project, i.e. under app directory.
• Create a HTML page index.html in the html directory.
• Add to manifest.json field acapPackageConfconfiguration.settingPage value index.html.
• Add javascript functions to index.html for e.g. fields and buttons and try to send user input to the CGI.
