In french: PHPExecute

Calls an external .php script and returns the result in a string. An HTTP request is performed: you have the ability to use a POST method or a GET method.

We recommend that you use this function to run PHP scripts (rather than ScriptExecute).

Example

// Runs the "Script1.php" script found at the root
// of the Web site and returns the result in S
MyBuffer is Buffer
MyBuffer = PHPExecute("/Script1.php")

// Login page in php. Sends 3 parameters with the POST method
// The script is found in the php directory
MyBuffer is Buffer
MyBuffer = PHPExecute("/php/Login.php", "Name=BOB&Pass=My+Secret&Lang=3", True)

<Result>: Buffer or character string

you have the ability to use a secure address (https)
