php in miva possible?

[warwickmc]

wanting to put a php email to a friend script into miva, is it possible to put php into miva pages?? any considerations or suggestions??

Yes it can be done. I have done it in a couple of Miva 5 stores and they are still working after the 5.5 upgrade.

glad to hear it, any hints on where to start??

The hardest part was getting the pathing correct but I used javascript to pass data to the external php files to complete the actions.

This particular script updates an image, something like this.
document.img.src='yourfile.php?var1=' + var+'&var2=' + var+ '&var3=' + var;

I hope that helps.

AJAX would be the easiest way to do it. Use JavaScript to make a call to the PHP page and inject the results in to the page as needed.
To really make PHP and Miva play nicely together, I think you need to use something like Weiland's toolkit

Weilands kit is very, very useful.
