NAME

ns_adp_parse - Parse an ADP file or string and return its output

SYNOPSIS

ns_adp_parse ?-file|-string? ?-safe? arg ?arg ...?

DESCRIPTION

This command processes an ADP from either a file or a string, returning the output. The first arg specifies the filename or contains the string to parse, depending on -file or -string.

If you need to process a second ADP from inside an ADP, it is usually better to use ns_adp_include, because that command resolves relative pathnames passed to it. Also note that ns_adp_parse will ignore any directives to turn on streaming. Tcl_Eval() is used to evaluate the Tcl commands in the ADP.

If you use the -string syntax, then arg is a string containing ADP syntax to be parsed. Note that when you call this command with the -string syntax from inside an ADP, the string cannot contain the "<% ... %>" syntax in versions of AOLserver prior to 4.5. The -string syntax is the default.

If you use the -file syntax, then arg is the absolute path to the file containing the ADP to be parsed.

If you specify the -safe flag, then only registered tags are executed; inline scripts using "<% ... %>" or "<%= ... %>" are ignored.

You can pass optional arguments to the ADP. The arguments can be accessed within the ADP using the ns_adp_argc, ns_adp_argv and ns_adp_bind_args commands.

If this call is a nested ADP evaluation (where one ADP calls another), an error will be thrown if the depth exceeds 256, the maximum number of nested ADP evaluations.

EXAMPLES

   % ns_adp_parse -string {<% return expr 2 + 2 %>}
   4

   % ns_adp_parse -file ns_info pageroot/index.adp
   ... output of index.adp ...

WARNING

In AOLserver versions prior to 4.5, -safe flag had no effect when used in combination with -file. In addition, -safe restriction could be bypassed in either a string or file by using this syntax: <script runat=server>...</script>
