Make response on serverside

I have lua:

response = http.post('https://ccraft-jasongronn.c9users.io/test.php')
print(reponse.readAll())

And I have PHP:
[php]<!doctype PHP>
<php>
<?php
date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
$hour = date('h')%13;
$luaTime = date($hour.':i a');
echo $luaTime;
?>
</php>[/php]

It keeps giving me the PHP code as a response. Can I send a custom reponse?

Shouldn't you technically use http.get?

Well, that makes it harder to use URL php variables.
Also, I think http.get would make it worse, because that's even more likely to send the code, tags and all, and that's just what I don't want to do.

It'll "work" either way, so long as your PHP server is doing its job.

And what should I do to send a real response rather than HTML (or PHP, or hypertext preprocessor, or whatever)

Leave the PHP server running, I guess? Putting aside your typo in "response", it works as-is.

I originally named 'response' 'request'. That was an editing error.

At the time, it's running. That is, however, one of my concerns.

What I mean is
I want this:

(No HTML)(No whitespace)(PHP response)

Rather than:

(HTML)(whitespace)(PHP content)

This is probably a problem with my PHP code not using a response, but I don't know how to send a response

Instead of

<!doctype PHP>
<php>
  <?php
    date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
    $hour = date('h')%13;
    $luaTime = date($hour.':i a');
    echo $luaTime;
  ?>
</php>

You'd want

<?php
date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
$hour = date('h')%13;
$luaTime = date($hour.':i a');
echo $luaTime;
?>

That shouldn't produce any whitespace, and definitely no HTML. Of course this is assuming your server is configured correctly to serve PHP.

But what if it's to a PHP page that can also be accessed via a user? 'Im planning on upgrading on this and adding a browser interference

Then have an if statement and a special GET or POST parameter for CC clients to use.

You could probably check the user agent and give a custom one in CC.

Edit: Or do above, but if you put something new to the end of the URL you could just use two scripts. So you should go with POST.

And that was and still is exactly what you get.
