[sword-devel] Re: PHP format

[Daniel Adams]

Thank you, that is the information. I may do well at being able to decipher
the code coming from the sword source itself. I say that because I have been
programming in C/C++ for over 10 years. Another question that came up, is
does anybody have any information for PHP and regular expression searching,
I ask this because I am trying to decipher some of the tagging code that
converts the THML information produced by the sword side of things and
render hyperlinked HTML from it.

I am not sure who first started the latest thread on the Post Nuke topic,
but if whoever it is wants to see the code I am writing to do these things,
contact me and I will figure a way to send it to you. I have it in two
files, a viewable file similar to diatheke.pl and a file containing
functions that interact with the sword stuff which may change once I get
certain parts started. I am going to try using swig with it so that the
speed of the slowness in the exe can be fixed and also have it better for
other platforms.

The perl script works by calling the command line diatheke. It's the 
command line program that does the work of retrieving the verses. What 
the perl script does is allow you to interactively specify the 
parameters to the command line program and then display the outputs. 
Your PHP code could do just the same. This may require diatheke to 
reside in a particular directory (the PHP safe_mode_exec_dir) if the 
server is running PHP in "safe mode".

If you want to look inside the command line program, the main file is 
apps/console/diatheke/corediatheke.cpp of the Sword distribution, 
containing the function doquery. But whether you'll be able to make any 
sense out of that depends on how good you are at reading other people's 
C++ code, and really doquery is really just an interface to the API.
You'd probably get more from reading the comments in swmgr.h. I know I do.
