Hi!

Did someone every use PHP on Blackfin? I've ported latest appweb including PHP5 support (see patches section). EJScript is working without problems but calling phpinfo() twice crashes:

NULL pointer access

Deferred Exception context

CURRENT PROCESS:

COMM=appweb PID=225  CPU=0

TEXT = 0x02458000-0x0245cb94        DATA = 0x02480b94-0x02481024

BSS = 0x02481024-0x02460000  USER-STACK = 0x0247fe90

I know, PHP5 is very big, requires much memory, etc. However, using PHP is not only my decision.

Mike, did you use it with BOA?  Are there any patch files or info available on the work that was done?

I did come across this external link on BOA + PHP:   www.menie.org/georges/uClinux/boa-php.html

there is no special boa modification needed.  simply build php as a cgi binary, register the php extension in the boa conf as a cgi, and then set the shebang on the php files to point to the php-cgi binary.

$ cat test.php

#!/usr/bin/php-cgi

<?php

echo "HI!";

?>

$ ./test.php

Content-type: text/html

HI!

Could you try this:

<?php

echo "HI!";

phpinfo();

?>

That crashed sometimes with NULL pointer.

However, PHP as CGI is a big performance issue, even on multi many core computer center server systems.

this is an embedded system that provides a web server for convenience.  do you really need to be handling thousands of transactions a second ?  if the PHP as a CGI is really too much of a performance issue, then boa wont work at all.
