Re: UNIXCMD Issues

   Further explorations ...

   If I use Scott's suggestions to test the action directly in PASE the
   results are different.

   Because the original attempt indicated 808 characters for the length
   of the input I added a trim() function and the script now works
   correctly when run directly in PASE.

   The original script now produces this:

    > echo "Jon Paris" | php /www/zendcore/htdocs/testUnixcmd.php
      You sent (Jon Paris) It was 9 characters long$
   So the extra spaces seemed to be part of the problem. But ...
   I added the record length (50) as a parm and that seems to have cured
   part of the problem. Even without the trim() it produces the correct
   result but still split over two reads - indicating that the spaces are
   part of the output - but strlen() reports the correct length (almost -
   it says 10 chars not 9) - so it appears to only count 1 extra space.
   Which is odd because strlen() counts significant trailing spaces. So
   it appears as if the input itself must have been truncated to 1
   trailing space. So why is the output s long?
   I'm not sure if I am more or less confused!!

   Subject: UNIXCMD Issues

   Scott if there is another forum where I should have posted this please
   let me know.
   I have this modified version of Example7 - I just changed to a simpler
   php script.
   Here's the RPG. Note the second read UNIX etc. at the end. If I don
   not include that only the first part of the message is read i.e. It
   terminates after my name.
   FUNIX      CF   F   50        SPECIAL PGMNAME('UNIXCMD')
   F                                     PLIST(UNIXPARM) USROPN
   FQSYSPRT   O    F  132        PRINTER

   D cmd             s           5000a
   D record          ds            50

   C     UNIXPARM      PLIST
   C                   PARM                    CMD
    /free
        cmd = 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Zend/Core/bin && +
              iconv -f 37 -t 819 | +
              php /www/zendcore/htdocs/testUnixCmd.php';
        open UNIX;

        record = 'Jon Paris';
        write UNIX record;
        read UNIX record;
        dsply record;
        read UNIX record;
       dsply record;
       close UNIX;
   This is the PHP script
   <?php

    $input = fgets(STDIN);
    $len = strlen($input);
    $result = "You sent ($input) It was $len characters long";
    echo $result;
   ?>
   And this the resulting display from the program. As noted above -
   unless I add the second read etc. it only shows the first part ending
   with the input data.
   DSPLY  You sent (Jon Paris
   DSPLY  ) It was 808 characters long
   I thought maybe the original input was having an end of record mark
   added causing it to be returned as two entries, so I added a hex
   convert/echo to my php but it showed the hex as being just fine with
   no extraneous bits.
   i.e 4a6f6e205061726973202020202020...
   I'm a complete Unix novice so maybe I've done something really stupid
   - if so can someone please tell me what?
   P.S. To Scott - you are not the only one who needs the iconcv() on the
   php input - I need it too or I get gibberish in the php script.
