On the same nodejs site with php?

Question

PHP

Hello. I am making a website in php. However, there is a heavy js code that needs to be executed on the server (the client has nothing to do with it at all). Is it possible to use node.js for this on the same site? I'm not familiar with node at all. Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Can. Either run directly from php via exec (but there may be performance problems because of this if the system is heavily loaded), or write rewrite rules for the Web server so that some requests are processed by PHP scripts, and some are proxied to the port on which the server running on node.js hangs.

Answer 2

Yes, you can.
