AutoPHP - Generate documents by sending variables from AutoIt to PHP

Hi folks!

I bring this little executable file and an AutoIt wrapper for it to generate documents (bills and incomes) by sending variables (strings, numbers or even arrays) to a PHP script you wrote.

This is the syntax:

themecli.exe <input> <output> <vars>

  • input: The input PHP file (the extension does not need to be .php, it can be anything, like .html, .txt, .bin, .wtf...), relative to @ScriptDir
  • output: The output HTML file to save, relative to @ScriptDir
  • vars: A base64-encoded JSON with all the variables (hard? Don't worry! See below:)

Looks confusing? Well, don't worry. That's why we have a wrapper!

Example, if we have this file "page.php":

Hello, <?=$user?>! How are you?

And do this with AutoIt (using my JSONgen UDF [ http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=173797 ] which is already included in AutoPHP):

#include 'inc\autophp.au3'

$ojson = New_JSON()
JSON_AddElement($ojson, 'user', 'John Doe')
$json = JSON_GetJSON($ojson)

AutoPHP('page.php', 'hello.txt', $json)

Note that you don't need to base64-encode it. After running it, we will see a file named "hello.txt", and the content is:

Hello, John Doe! How are you?

On the PHP file you can also use loops and everything else supported in PHP4 (since it uses Bambalam PHP Compiler, it does not support PHP5 yet).

On the zip file there is an example of how to use it with loops.

License: same Bambalam PHP Compiler license: :P

[...]

let's just say that it's free, and I don't want to get sued. Ok? 

 

Tip: If you use wkhtmltox, you'll be able to convert the generated HTML file into PDF with just a few lines! See here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/173611-wkhtmltox-autoit-objectclass-to-convert-html-filespages-into-pdf-and-images/ 

 

Download:

  •  AutoPHP.zip full script, dependencies and examples (everything you need to start using AutoPHP)
  •  phpthemecli-src.zip Themecli binary and source (Themecli is the tool that AutoPHP uses to run PHP code - since it's already included on AutoPHP UDF, you don't need to download it, unless you want to use it with another programming language)

      Physical server for AutoIT
      By Spartan117
      Hi everyone,
      I wonder if there is a cloud service that can offer a physical server so that AutoIT can turn as it is in a physical machine.
      Thank you

      Unable to Send text to IP Input Box
      By comtech80
      Folks,
      I have an issue I've been trying to solve for a while, I'm trying to add static routes in DHCP via a 121 route rule in Windows 2012 R2 is a brutal manual process and wanted to automate this via AutoIT.
       
      When I use the "ControlGetText" everything displays properly in the MSG box but when I try and use "ControlSetText" or "ControlSend" the values won't display in the input box but the action comes back as successful?
      Anyone able to help me with this? I'm thinking this might be an active window issue but i'm not sure.
      Here is a part of my code.
       
      $hWnd = WinWait("[TITLE:Add a Static Route]","", 10)
      WinActivate($hWnd)
      $Status = ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:4]", "192"); Does not add 192 to the text box.
      Local $sTextEdit1 = ControlGetText($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]")
      ConsoleWrite ( "ControlSend Status: " &  $Status & @CRLF); Returns a Value of 1
      ConsoleWrite ( "ControlGetText Value Edit1: " &  $sTextEdit1 & @CRLF);
       
      Please see attachment for more info.

      Store Word Document in Autoit Gui
      By Neonovaz
      Hello
       
      Is there anyway to store word documents in Autoit GUI? For example I have a instruction sheet that I want to bundle up with the exe.

      So a user simply clicks the icon and the stored document will launch  (Something like how you can add objects like excel sheets in word documents )

      (I Know we can launch word files from script directory)

      button click not working on windows server 2008
      By ur
      I have a button control as below screen.

      This one I am able to suppress using below code in all the OS.
      But on server 2008, sometimes the button highlighted in the image is not getting clicked and some times it is working.
      I have cross checked the IDs when it is not working, but it is working only.
       
      $win1 = "erwin Mart Configuration" $MartConfigWindow = _WinWaitActivate1($win1,"Database Details") ControlSetText($MartConfigWindow, "", "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.378734a6", $dbserver) ControlSetText($MartConfigWindow, "", "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.378734a4", $dbname) ControlSetText($MartConfigWindow, "", "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.378734a9", $dbuser) ControlSetText($MartConfigWindow, "", "WindowsForms10.EDIT.app.0.378734a8", $dbpassword) ;Button clicl logic $iControlClickStatus = ControlClick($MartConfigWindow, "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.378734a; INSTANCE:2]") ;If above button click fails, trying with mouse click on the control if ControlFocus($MartConfigWindow, "", "WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.378734a2")=1 then ;sometimes above button fails in win server 2008,so this loop Send("{ENTER") EndIf  
      Any suggestion on how to resolve this.?

      How Server can connect to client over the internet with tcp
      By AlexFing17
      i am trying to figure out how a server can connect to a client Over the internet. 
      In this is script. The client connects to the server on the same machine (localhost) and executes the commands from the client.
      How can I change that instead communicating over localhost to communicate over the internet with tcp ipaddress and a port.
       
      What i actually need help of is
      1. The server will open a port and  listen to communication from a No-ip address
      2. I input the no-ip address and correct port in the client side, and when i click on connect, it connects to the server if its online
