SUMMARY

A Fortran 95 program can be executed online using a combination of PHP and HTML forms. Users input data into an HTML form, which triggers a PHP script to write the input values to a text file. The Fortran program then reads this text file, performs calculations, and outputs the results to another text file that can be displayed on the website. The implementation depends on the web server, platform, and permissions available on the operating system.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fortran 95 programming
  • Familiarity with PHP scripting
  • Knowledge of HTML forms
  • Basic concepts of web server architecture
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to integrate PHP with Fortran programs
  • Learn about file handling in PHP
  • Explore web server configurations for executing scripts
  • Investigate permissions management on web servers
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for developers looking to integrate legacy Fortran applications into modern web environments, particularly those familiar with PHP and web server management.

I've got a Fortran 95 program (which basically does few calculations) and I'd like to use it online. So that, the users will input data into a HTML form, the program will run, and it will display the results.

Would it be possible to do it in the following way?
To run a little program (e.g. PHP) once the user submits the form, then that program would take the input values from the form and write them into a text file.
Then it runs the Fortran program, which reads the input values from the text file and does all the calculations - outputting the results to another text file (and then back to the website).

If that's possible, how do I put all these steps into one thing, so that they'll be executed one after another?


Thank you very much for your help!

That looks very much like a re-post of How to run Fortran program on the website? Please help, but anyway:

Theoretically, there are many of ways of gluing a module or an an app and a website together, but the choice of architecture largely depends on infrastructure, foremost

- which web-server,
- running on which platform,
- providing which infrastructure

is taken into consideration?

And last not least which rights do you have on the box/the OS/the web-server/your site?

Regards, Solkar
