Take a look here  https   github com davidcoallier node-php  From their read me      Inline PHP Server Running on Node js      Be worried  be very worried  The name NodePHP takes its name from   the fact that we are effectively turning a nice Node js server into a   FastCGI interface that interacts with PHP-FPM        This is omega-alpha-super-beta-proof-of-concept but it already runs a   few simple scripts  Mostly done for my talks on Node js for PHP   Developers this turns out to be quite an interesting project that we   are most likely be going to use with Orchestra   when we decide to release our   Inline PHP server that allows people to run PHP without Apache  Nginx or any webserver       Yes this goes against all ideas and concepts of Node js but the idea   is to be able to create a web-server directly from any working   directory to allow developers to get going even faster than it was   before  No need to create vhosts or server blocks ore modify your    etc hosts anymore

I had the same question   I tried invoking php through the shell interface  and it produced the desired result   var exec   require  child process   exec  app get      function req  res  exec  php index php   function  error  stdout  stderr   res send stdout           I m sure this is not high on the recommended practices list  but it seemed to do what I wanted   If  on the other hand  you don t want to execute PHP scripts directly from Node js but want to relay them from another web server that does  this seems to do the trick   var exec   require  child process   exec  app get      function req  res  exec  wget -q -O - http   localhost    function  error  stdout  stderr   res send stdout

You can try to implement direct link node -  fastcgi -  php  In the previous answer  nginx serves php requests using http- fastcgi serialisation- unix socket- php and node requests as http- nginx reverse proxy- node http server   It seems that node-fastcgi paser is useable at the moment  but only as a node fastcgi backend  You need to adopt it to use as a fastcgi client to php fastcgi server

You can run PHP as with any web-server  using the SPHP module for node  It s compatible but not dependent on express   It also supports websockets requests on the HTTP port  Its biased for speed under small load  rather then saving resources   To install in node   npm install sphp   in you app   var express   require  express    var sphp   require  sphp     var app   express    var server   app listen 8080    app use sphp express  public      app use express static  public        For more information  look at https   github com paragi sphp  I m slightly biased too because I m the author
