Performing cross-platform calls to php from Qt5

Eamorr

I'm developing a Qt desktop GUI.

I need to be able to run:

php myWonderfulScript.php parameter from the Qt app.

php is available on the command line on my development computer, however it's unlikely to be available on the user's computer. I also need php5-curl installed...

Can I reliably distribute php .so/.a/.dll files with my Qt desktop application so it will run on Mac/Windows/Linux? (I know there are big licensing issues that arise in this situation and I will be sure to not steal anyones work)

I'm using Qt Creator 3.1.2 (based on Qt 5.3.1)

Many thanks for your help,

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Out of curiosity what does your php script do ? I might be simpler to translate it in C++ to avoid have to install PHP on each target.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I guess that may be an option, but the script is 3,000 lines long.

I would prefer to continue to maintain the PHP as-is and just put a Qt wapper around it.

Is including PHP possilbe in a reliable way?
