Hi I am trying to give user interface to my tool and willing to call R from php. I am able to install, configure and run the example given on rapache manual website http://rapache.net/manual.html and I suppose it is working perfect. I have a couple of varibles in php (such as input file path and other variables) that I want to send to R. The manual mentions how to call an R file but I could not figure out how to pass arguments from php (post variables) to an R file or R functions. # test.php file #R file to be called (Filename: test.R): Function name is foo. foo ( $var1, $var2, $geneArray, $inpFile) ) // How to receive the variable. #http.conf file. //What to modify in this file ServerName localhost LoadModule R_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_R.so ROutputErrors <location rapachetest=""> SetHandler r-handler RFileHandler /home/fahim/webRugit/hello.R </location> Do I need to modify any other file??? Thanks a lot. Fahim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Fahim, This question is probably too general for this list. Remember that this is the Bioconductor mailing list ;-) You might want to ask to the rApache people directly or maybe try the R-help mailing list instead. Good luck, H.
