I wanted to run a phantomjs server from my php script, then do a curl request to it and read it's response (which in the final version will give a path to generated pdf). When running phantomjs server file from the console and then navigating to it's address in the browser, everything works fine. That's the server.js file :
var server, service, page = require('webpage').create(), address, output,
html = '<!DOCTYPE><html><head></head><body><h1>FOOO</h1></body></html>';
server = require('webserver').create();
var rasterize = function(html, callback){
address = 'http://localhost';
output = '/Users/me/print.pdf'
page.viewportSize = { width: 600, height: 600 };
page.open(address, function (status) {
if (status !== 'success') {
console.log('Unable to load the address!');
} else {
window.setTimeout(function () {
page.content = html;
page.render(output);
callback();
}, 2000);
}
});
}
service = server.listen(8080, function (request, response) {
response.statusCode = 200;
rasterize(html, function(){
response.write('<h1>BAR</h1>');
response.close();
phantom.exit();
});
});
Basically I'm opening localhost addres, switching content of the page to my html string and then saving rendered page as pdf.
Now comes my php script :
<?
function send_callback($data){
echo '{type: success, data: '.$data.'}';
}
function curl_post($url, array $post = NULL, array $options = array()) {
$defaults = array(
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
CURLOPT_HEADER => 0,
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT => 1,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE => 1,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 5,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => http_build_query($post)
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, ($options + $defaults));
if( ! $result = curl_exec($ch)) {
trigger_error(curl_error($ch));
}
curl_close($ch);
send_callback($result);
}
shell_exec('phantomjs '.escapeshellarg(dirname(__FILE__).'/server.js'));
//wait to allow server to start
sleep(5);
$data = array('html'=> 'foo');
curl_post('http://localhost:8080', $data);
?>
Also no magic here. I execute phantomjs server.js command in terminal, and after 5s (time to init the server) do a curlPOST request to it.
Now I have two cases :
php script.php the server starts as I can see the process running and the icon is visible in the dock, but I never get any response from it and the pdf is not created. Can anyone see anything wrong in my code or think of any ways of debugging it ?
Testing on OSX 10.7, php 5.3.6, phantomjs latest. User _www running the server has admin privileges, folder where I'm writing files were chmoded to 777.
