We have a setup in which we use PHP (with Geeklog as a CMS) as a front end to MySQL. We plan to use R for offering user driven and automated statistical analysis of some of the data we obtain. We'll be using the R interface to the MySQL database from omegahat (www.omegahat.org) for getting the data out of the database, but we were wondering if somebody tackled the problem of how to integrate R nicely with PHP.
If you can use Postgres instead of MySQL, see: http://www.joeconway.com/oscon-pres-2003-1.pdf Page 23 has an example PHP code snippet. Very simple because most of the work is done in the PL/R function. Joe
