Is there an eval function? I am basically looking for a way to pass a formula to PH through a psp page with ph_getwebparm. Is this possible?

You want ph_formula() for your eval function.

Depending upon how I interpret your question, you may also want to look at the PH cgi function evalformula.

It takes two parameters, formula and nexturl, and allows you to submit a formula for evaluation to the PH webserver. A simple URL would look like this:

Code:
http://127.0.0.1/ph-cgi/evalformula?formula=ph_macro("YOUR MACRO ID")&nexturl=YOURPSPPAGE.PSP

That is even better than what I was looking for.

evalformula isn't working for me, but formula is working great. One thing to note is that the formula needs to be URLEncoded. It looks like it will take a POST and that wouldn't.

Quick proof of concept
Code:
http://10.1.10.2:8080/ph-cgi/formula?formula=ph_devicecontro l(%22INSTEON%2BMSTR_FAN%2BOFF%22)

What about something like this

Code:
http://10.0.10.2:8080/ph-cgi/formula?formula=ph_getinsteonle vel(%22MSTR_FAN%22)


This returns a full html page with the result in the middle of it. Is there a way to get just the result?

Kevin,

evalformula most likely worked (you can check the log), it just doesnt return the result to you. Its good to launch a macro or other command where you're not interested in the result and instead want to navigate to a particular page when done.

What you're looking for is /ph-cgi/eval. It takes a single parameter "formula". This will return the result only without any other data.

Also, look at the ph_htmlescape function for URLEncoding.

Hope this helps,

Dave.
