Built-In ExeOutput PHP Functions
ExeOutput for PHP provides you with some built-in PHP functions that may be called from your PHP scripts.
All strings used and returned by some PHP functions use the UTF-8 format.
List of available PHP functions¶
exo_unpackvirtualfile¶
string exo_unpackvirtualfile ( string $sourcepath , string $optionaldestpath )
Unpacks a compiled file from the internal storage to the specified virtual folder. Note that the file is not unpacked to the hard disk, but in memory.
$sourcepathis the virtual source path to the compiled file you want to unpack to memory.$optionaldestpathis the absolute path to the destination virtual file. If you leave it blank, the path from$_SERVER%%['%%DOCUMENT_ROOT']+ the virtual path is used.
The function returns the absolute path to the virtual file (in UTF-8 format). This path can be used with PHP functions as fopen, file_exists, file_get_contents See more about accessing compiled files
Info
Note: you can also use the option Unpack the file(s) to virtual memory at startup
exo_removevirtualfile¶
void exo_removevirtualfile(string $destpath);
Removes the specified file from the internal storage.
$destpath must contain the full path to the file.
exo_getglobalvariable¶
string exo_getglobalvariable (string $name, string $default);
Returns the value of the global variable whose name is name. If the global variable does not exist, the default value is returned. Similar to GetGlobalVar HEScript function.
exo_setglobalvariable¶
string exo_setglobalvariable (string $name, string $value, bool $isstored);
Sets the Value of a global variable whose name is name. If isstored is true, the global variable is persistent: its value will be stored and restored the next time the application is run. Similar to SetGlobalVar HEScript function.
exo_runhescriptcom¶
void exo_runhescriptcom(string $comline);
This function is the most used: it lets you execute an HEScript function or procedure. It is similar to the hescript: protocol, except that you specify the command line via comline.
Syntax for ComLine: [HEScript script name].[procedure/function name]|Param1|Param2|....|ParamN
Please see the How to call a script help topic.
exo_return_hescriptcom¶
string exo_return_hescriptcom(string $comline, string $defvalue)
This function is similar to the previous one except that it calls an HEScript string function and returns its result. It is similar to the hescript: protocol, except that you specify the command line via comline and a default value in defvalue if the function is not found.
Syntax for ComLine:
[HEScript script name].[procedure/function name]|Param1|Param2|....|ParamN.
Please see the How to call a script help topic. Example below.
exo_get_resstring¶
string exo_get_resstring(string $ID)
Returns the resource string whose name is given by ID.
Example¶
Call an HEScript string function and return its result:
<?php
echo exo_return_hescriptcom("UserMain.ReturnDate", "Error");
?>
