PHP in Miva pages

[habreu]

I know in the past through Tool Kit and also with Bill's External module, there were ways to pass things back and forth to PHP scripts. What is the current state of 'PHP in Miva' right now? We are hosted by Miva and have a PHP programmer in house and he is about down with a simple PHP database app to allow people to search for contractors who use our products based on zip code. He has also created an admin end for us to load contractors and assign them to regions based on some data from the census bureau identifying various sizes of metropolitan areas.

I probably could just frame the php page but if there is a way to load the results directly into a Miva page I'd appreciate a pointer as to what functions or tools we should look at.

Thanks.

You can do a Ajax call to a php page to get content or use mvt:call to have the sever make an http request to the PHP page to return data back to Miva.

You can't run php directly in Miva pages.
