The ScriptBasic interpreter and application server both use the same compiled configuration file. Maintain your basic.conf.txt file in a text editor. Next convert it to the binary format ScriptBasic uses by typing the following command at a console prompt in the /etc/scriba directory.

scriba -k basic.conf.txt


At a minimal, make sure these proxy modules are enabled.
Code: [Select]

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so


Here is what I added to the end of Apache's httpd.conf file.
Code: [Select]

# ScriptBasic Application Server
ProxyPass /app-bin/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassreverse /app-bin/ http://127.0.0.1:8080/


You can optionally set the SCRIBACONF environment variable to the full path and filename of where your basic.conf file is located and named. (/etc/scriba/basic.conf is the default location and name if the ScriptBasic environment variable isn't set)

After restarting Apache for the proxy addition, enter the following at a console prompt.

sbhttpd -start

All requests to the /app-bin directory are sent to the ScriptBasic application server to be process.

To stop the server, kill -9 the process ID # in the pid.txt file.

Hi John,

The sibawastart.bas program I believe is part of the authorization extension to Apache and isn't needed to get the application server (sbhttpd) running. Just remove those startup lines in the basic.conf file.

I have three separate sbhttpd servers running on the scriptbasic.net server that work great.

Feel free to send me your basic.conf to have a peek at if you like.

Part 3 - Working With Forms

In Part 3 we will be creating a simple form that will ask for the user name. If submit is clicked without entering anything a error message will display allowing re-entry. If they type something in then the page will display "Hello user_name". If they click on the cancel button, they are taken to the ScriptBasic home page. All this in one small page of code.

sbform.bas
Code: [Select]

#! /usr/bin/scriba -c

INCLUDE cgi.bas

OPTION cgi$Method cgi::Get OR cgi::Post

err_msg = 0

IF cgi::RequestMethod() = "POST" AND cgi::PostParam("nav") = "Cancel" THEN
  cgi::Header(302, "text/html")
  PRINT "Location: /home/index.php\n"
  cgi::FinishHeader()
  END
END IF

cgi::Header(200, "text/html")
cgi::FinishHeader()

PRINT """
<html>
<header>
<title>ScriptBasic Forms</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
   function focusit() {
    var tempval=eval(document.getElementById('name'))
    tempval.focus()
    tempval.select()
  }
</script>
</header>
"""

IF cgi::RequestMethod() = "POST" THEN
  IF cgi::PostParam("my_name") > "" THEN
    PRINT "<body>\n"
    PRINT "<h2>Hello " & cgi::PostParam("my_name") & ".</h2><br>\n"
    GOTO All_Done
  ELSE
    err_msg = 1
  END IF
END IF

PRINT """
<body onLoad="javascript:focusit();">
<form action="/cgi-bin/sbform.bas" method="POST">
<h2>What is your name?</h2>
<input type="text" name="my_name" size="30" id="name"><br>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="nav" value="Submit">&nbsp;<input type="submit" name="nav" value="Cancel">
</form>
"""

IF err_msg THEN PRINT """<br><h2><font color="red">Please enter your name!</font></h2>\n"""

All_Done:

PRINT """
</body>
</html>
"""

END


Run Program

cgi::RequestMethod()
This function determines how the page was called. (Get or Post)


cgi::PostParam("my_name")
This function returns the value for the form field with a name="my_name".


PRINT "<h2>Hello " & cgi::PostParam("my_name") & ".</h2><br>\n"
This works as well.
Code: [Select]

PRINT "<h2>Hello ",cgi::PostParam("my_name"),".</h2><br>\n"

Page Redirection
Code: [Select]

cgi::Header(302, "text/html")
PRINT "Location: /home/index.php\n"
cgi::FinishHeader()


This header will redirect the page to the URL specified by "Location:".

Part 2 - Working with MySQL

In part 2, I'm going to show how to access MySQL and display the result set in a table. The MySQL extension is a C library interface to the database engine. This example will show you how easy it is to work with a SQL database interface.

Test Table Definition



Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/scriba -c

INCLUDE cgi.bas
INCLUDE mysql.bas

OPTION cgi$Method cgi::Get

dbh = mysql::RealConnect("host","user","password","database")

cgi::Header 200,"text/html"
cgi::FinishHeader

PRINT """
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>MySQL Tutorial</title>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<TABLE border="1" cellpadding="3">
"""

mysql::query(dbh,"SELECT * FROM contact")
WHILE mysql::FetchHash(dbh, col_name)

PRINT "<TR>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"ID"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"NAME"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"ADDRESS"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"CITY"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"STATE"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"ZIP"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"PHONE"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"EMAIL"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"URL"},"</TD>\n"
PRINT "</TR>\n"

WEND

PRINT """
</TABLE>
</FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
"""

mysql::Close(dbh)

END


Run Program

INCLUDE mysql.bas
The mysql.bas include file declares the functions to access the MySQL library.

dbh = mysql::RealConnect("host","user","password","database")
The MySQL library call makes the connection to the database. If the database is defined in the basic.conf file then you can use an abbreviated version of the function to connect to the MySQL interface.
Code: [Select]
mysql::Connect("conf_defined_name")
This moves the login information out of the program and into a binary configuration file. The dbh variable contains the connection handle and shouldn't be modified by the programmer. It is used to pass to the other mysql:: functions.

mysql::query(dbh,"SELECT * FROM contact")
This function passes your SQL statement to MySQL. If a query is passed, then you could use the AffectedRows() function to return how many rows in the record set.
Code: [Select]
number_of_rows = mysql::AffectedRows(dbh)

WHILE mysql::FetchHash(dbh, col_name)
The WHILE directive will loop through the record set until the FetchHash() function returns false. This version of fetch uses an associative array to store the row from the record set. This allows you to reference the data by the column name. (case sensitive) There are times when this may not be practicle. (like a JOIN) In this case you would use the FetchArray() function to return the row from the result set.
Code: [Select]
WHILE mysql::FetchArray(dbh, array_var)

PRINT "<TR>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[0],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[1],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[2],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[3],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[4],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[5],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[6],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[7],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "<TD>",array_var[8],"</TD>\n"
PRINT "</TR>\n"

WEND



PRINT "<TD>",col_name{"ID"},"</TD>\n"
This will populate the cell with the current row "ID" column data.

WEND
This defines the end of the WHILE loop.

mysql::Close(dbh)
This explicitly closes the MySQL connection. ScriptBasic will close all database connections on it's own upon exiting the script.

Hi Peter,

Quote from: "Peter Verhas"

I welcome anyone starting a tutorial like that. I believe that Wiki is the right place for that.


Using the forum to generate the initial tutorial allows more interaction with the other forum members. Once completed, as you say, the wiki is where this should end up.

Thanks for the feedback !

Part 1 - Hello World

This thread will be an on-going tutorial on how to use ScriptBasic for your CGI scripting needs. I will start this first post with the standard "Hello World" with the minimal amount of code needed for ScriptBasic (scriba) to generate a dynamic page. It is assumed that you have ScriptBasic installed and configured correctly. (another tutorial at a later date)

Code: [Select]
#! /usr/bin/scriba -c

INCLUDE cgi.bas

OPTION cgi$Method cgi::Get

cgi::Header(200, "text/html")
cgi::FinishHeader()

a = "Hello World !"

PRINT """
<html>
<header>
<title>ScriptBasic CGI</title>
</header>
<body>
<center>
"""

PRINT "<h1>" & a & "</h1>\n"

PRINT """
</center>
</body>
</html>
"""

END

#! /usr/bin/scriba -c
The first line of your program starts the ScriptBasic interpreter and the -c option tells scriba that this is a CGI program.

INCLUDE cgi.bas
The cgi.bas include file contains both ScriptBasic code and declares to C functions in the cgi.dll (.so) shared library. Access to cgi.bas functions and variables within it's name space is accomplished by using the cgi:: reference.
(similar to Perl)

OPTION cgi$Method cgi::Get
The OPTION statement is used to define what CGI methods are valid for the page. In our example, only GET request will be allowed. The following constants are available as an a argument for the OPTION statement. You may combine values using the OR operator.
Code: [Select]
' constants for setting option cgi$Method
const None   = &H00000000
const Get    = &H00000001
const Post   = &H00000002
const Upload = &H00000006
const Put    = &H00000008
const Del    = &H00000010
const Copy   = &H00000020
const Move   = &H00000040
const Head   = &H00000080

Header() & FinishHeader() functions
These two functions build the the basic page header that all HTML pages require.

a = "Hello World !"
Here we assign a variable with a string value. Variables do not have to have their type declared or dimensioned using a DIM statement.

PRINT """   """
The PRINT statement outputs to the browser whatever is between the triple quotes verbatim as it is in your program keeping what formating you have used.

PRINT "<h1>" & a & "</h1>\n"
The & character is used to concatenate the quoted text and the string variable holding our "Hello World !" stored value. The \n causes ScriptBasic to print a new line character. (more on using the \ character later)

END
The terminates the ScriptBasic program, ending it's connection with the web server. (optional end of program keyword)

GTK-Server / GTK demo
« on: December 04, 2007, 03:04:20 AM »
Peter (GTK-server author) extended the GTK.bas include file by wrapping common used GTK-server command strings in ScriptBasic functions. The Dictionary program is an example of using these wrapper functions.

Function Wrapper Matrix

The GTK-server started off as a TCP/named pipe interface and then Peter created a ScriptBasic extension module (DLL / Share Object). All commands are sent as one string. You may have noticed my GUI() wrapper around the GTK::gtk(gtk_cmd) function call to the GTK-server in the "Hello World" example.  This allows me to pass normal function like arguments and the GUI() function builds the command string.

I just wanted to clear this up as it might be confusing for someone not familiar with the GTK-server software.

I have a stock picking program implemented with ScriptBasic which I run every week. I have made this program freeware and have a user base of perhaps 20, so that's 20 additional users by extension. My ScriptBasic program has been highly maintainable, which allows me to keep up with (unnanounced) changes by my quote server.

Round Table / Roll Call
« on: December 03, 2007, 06:34:32 PM »
I thought I would post how I use ScriptBasic to accomplish some of the tasks I have to maintain on a ongoing basis.

I wrote a program that connects to a MLS (real estate) web service  passing SOAP requests, I get a list of photos that have been added or changed in a the last three hour period. The program parses the XML response and generates a 'lftp' script to download the files off the MLS FTP server. This runs as a cron job 8 times a day. It has been rock solid for over a year.

I used Aestiva's HTMLOS Basic like scripting solution for years till I was able to get the ScriptBasic application server going on the site. Converting the HTMLOS applications to SBHTTPD was much easier then anticipated and wish I have done it a long time ago. (not to mention the $800 per URL I save using ScriptBasic)

I have a many small scriba scripts I use on the server to take care of tasks that I have automated. ScriptBasic seems to fit the bill no matter what size task I challenge it with.

We use an older version of Script basic, to which we added external 'C'
function libraries.  These external function libraries implement commands used by the building automation system (BAS) at the University of Toronto.
(many millions of square feet).

Scriptbasic is used in the control of a large number of building environment systems on campus.  A notable implementation is pressure control within a large atrium being served by 7 supply fans (60,000 CFM each) and 4 return fans(120,000 CFM each).  This implementation can maintain a positive pressure in the building envelope of 0.03" wc.

Scriptbasic has also been extended to communicate with our BACnet server, for the purposes of monitoring third party implementations.  BACnet is the ASHRAE standard for Building Automation and Control networks.

In doing so, we have added certain DB calls to Oracle, but they are application specific, not via ODBC or other standard.


Quote

What we also added was a novel use of gcc pre-compiler.

There were no macros, so I created 'C' macros that emit BASIC statements, and then pre-compiled our basic source code using "gcc -E".

The most important reason we chose Scriptbasic, was extensibility and portability.  We chose Basic, because it was typeless, and did not require fixed array sizes.

We can code things like this (unrealistic, but a decent example):
Code: [Select]

DO_EVERY_INIT

DO_EVERY(300) {

 On_status = get("080 AH01 VS1")
 If ( isdefined(On_status)) then
     If (On_status = "OFF" ) then
         PAM("Air handler 1 is off in error")
     else
        supply_temp = get("080 AH01 SPT")
        If ( isdefined(supply_temp)) then
           If (supply_temp > 30 ) then
              PAM("Air handler 1 supply temp is in alarm")
           Endif
    Endif
 endif

} DO_EVERY_END;

... many more DO_EVERY blocks...

DO_INTERVAL


So, our macros enable the code within to be executed every X seconds.
The do-every macros are implemented using arrays.   Since we do not have to
define array sizes, we can have as many as we like, as the macros manage the index.

The use of "is-defined" enables us to know if the "get" function was
successful: the result will be undefined on error.  All errors detected are announced by the basic extension libraries, not the basic code, to improve readability.

The typelessness of basic allows us to use the return of the get as either a string (compare to off) or a number (compare to 30). The also improves readability and use.  We do not need a special function for each return type.

In this example, PAM is the "print alarm message" function,that prints messages all over campus. The name was chosen as it is the same as an operator command.

This is a very BIG and responsible installation. Most programs in our installation are tiny control blocks similar to the above,that were implemented by parsing a report of all existing control blocks using perl, and auto-generating the scriptbasic code.

Scriptbasic was the tool that allowed us to abandon a very old Fortran based command line configured control engine.  We now have approx. 50 scriptbasic programs running on Solaris,that centrally controls the building systems for most of the campus.

I guess scriptbasic is used in the control of perhaps 6 million sq ft, in Canada's largest University.

Although not a heavy user I do use ScriptBasic some.  BASIC is my "syntax of choice" and I would hate to see ScriptBasic disappear even if not much new development happens anytime soon.

I have a new project coming up and I had not picked a platform yet but I believe ScriptBasic is a good choice and I will probably go that way.  My personal work load does not give me much spare time so being a contributor to the project can't happen as much as it could be fun.

In today's environment just about everybody is "addicted to complexity".  Too many people have grown up thinking Visual Studio is the only way.  Products like ScriptBasic don't get much attention because they don't seem "sexy" enough but in truth their simple elegance is their strength.

Now if you could compile it to run on my MacBook ..... hummmmm ..... very interesting.

Don't give up on it yet.

Thanks for the hard work to get it this far.

Mark

I have been using and am using scriptbasic for communicating with serial devices and standarizing communication protocols before writing drivers as well as writing complex control algorithms for control centers.

Developing cycle with it is much faster than C.... and since i got computerized with ZX spectrume.. it feels like home.

I think it is the only basic branch . If you have the time dont quit!
