Is it possible to use the Indy HTTP Server with PHP?
And more importantly, are you allowed to distribute the PHP binaries
with a commercial application?
Thanks

Yes. PHP can be used as an external application. You can have your
TIdHTTPServer code spawn a new php.exe process, pipe the relevant input data
to it, read the response data from it, and then send that back to the
client.

Yes. This is clearly stated in PHP's license:

Is there an example of this anywhere online? - I enquired about this before

Go to users.telenet.be/ws36637/ and download the idRunner
components. as far as I can see they do exacty what you are after use
an ISAPI or CGI dll from indyHTTPServer and they already support PHP
through CGI.
