I can't find how th get to PHP's equivalent of $_Post and $_Cookie ?
PHP is mostly a one-trick pony. It's meant to be run as a web scripting
language with Apache (or, I suppose, something else) on the front end.
As a result, a lot of web-specific things like $_Post and $_Cookie are
built into the language.
Python is intended to be more general purpose, so things which are built
in to other languages usually can be found in library modules. In this
case, you probably want to look at the SimpleHTTPServer module.
Actually when they say "Simple" they really mean it. The the
SimpleHTTPServer module doesn't parse form data at all. It's pretty easy
to get that using the urlparse module though...
def do_GET(self):
getvars = urlparse.parse_qs( self.path )
field1 = getvars[ "username" ][0]
field2 = getvars[ "password" ][0]
if authenticate( field1, filed2 ):
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html")
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write( "welcome" )
else:
self.send_response(404)
self.end_headers()
return
This may be lower level than you want really and does involve
permanently running a daemon on your server as opposed to the PHP way of
doing things (having Apache interpret PHP on a page by page basis).
My latest gig, however, has had me doing PHP for the past 3 months or
so.
That's terrible, you have my fullest sympathy in these difficult times.
