This doesn't do any convertion. This is just showing off running a worker using PHP instead of JS

Oh nevermind, the babel is converting the PHP to JS

Ah I see but what I don't understand as well here is that you need to use some returns? https://github.com/cloudflare/php-worker-hello-world/blob/master/index.php You cannot simply push a code with a basic echo "hello world"?

no worries

Yeah, so, this is a worker meaning it will handle incoming requests. It isn't just a server to render PHP. If you wanted a simple plain text response of "hello world" you'd have to return a Response with that

Mhmm I see so everything needs a return with the function written in the script? But will the workers still run the PHP or I will need another machine in the backend

These sit on the edge and are done before it hits your origin server. You can do responses, request modification or even HTML modification of the origin

ah really nice

You don't need to return a Response, you can just modify something like the headers and let the request go to the origin server

The workers site explains it well:

because I am only using it to be not pure html coded like for languages so that it automatically does it

I will check more in detail

thanks for the lights

Is doing two echos considered as two requests?

On the same page

I'm not sure what doing echo will do at all. It may just print to console, I couldn't tell you if you wanted to return content (instead of it going to the origin server) you need to return a response. You can't return 2 of those.

hahaha wait there is a Cloudflare PoP on Réunion island? (re: #770297010619416586)

that's awesome

Yup!

Good day CF, I work for a company that have an Enterprise contract and might be interested in the waiting room if it integrates with workers - is there plans to expose a Waiting Room context to CF workers? if so, what would be in that context?

Does anyone know if there are plans to provide a better experience for querying a SQL database? I'm aware of

db-connect

but it's experimental and requires an Argo Tunnel. We've built a geographically-distributed CockroachDB (which requires a PostgreSQL-compatible driver) database, but Workers doesn't seem to be well supported for this kind of application.

I would assume it's possible. You'd just need to have the package and use webpack to bundle. I can't say for sure though

I'm not sure if you're replying to my message above. Although, I read that arbitrary TCP connections are not possible from a Cloudflare Worker. Will this change? Most open-source SQL databases require connections over TCP.

Ah right yeah. Yeah, I have no idea if there's any plans to change that.

yeah - even better - would be great to kind of hook into returning content types. So if the content type is text/html, do this - although that is very tricky. 🙂

You don't get control over the actual request - response cycle then, only a callback to execute against the doc.

Actually, disregard that - horrible idea 😛

modify if the response is text/html?

shouldn't be that hard actually

you just do a sub-request and then use HTMLRewriter
