How to Develop Web Compiler for c, c++, java

Can anyone tell me how I should approach the development of a web-based interface for remote compiling, based a compiler like InterviewStreet or Codeacademy for c, c++ ?

I want to develop the using PHP (Language doesn't matter anyway)

Is there any Opensource API for this kind of task?

Thanks

Solution

  • You could use shell_exec() and gcc.

    I.e. basically compile from command-line with the usual compilers (g++, javac among others).

    Always be careful of the security though, restrict the rights of the user compiling and running the compiled programs.
