`phd` is an esoteric gopher server for small gopher sites.
point it at a directory and it'll serve up all its text files, sub-directories, and binary files over gopher. executable files will be run, like cgi!
special files:
- **header.gph**: if it exists in a directory, its content will be shown above the directory's content. put ascii art in it.
- **footer.gph**: same, but will be shown below a directory's content.
- **index.gph**: completely replaces a directory's content with what's in this file.
- **??.gph**: visiting gopher://yoursite/1/dog/ will try to render `dog.gph` from disk.
- **.reverse**: if this exists, the directory contents will be listed in reverse alphanumeric order. useful for phloggin'.
any line in a `.gph` file that doesn't contain tabs (`\t`) and doesn't start with an `i` will get an `i` automatically prefixed, turning it into a gopher information item.
any `.gph` file that is marked **executable** with be run as if it were a shell script and its output will be sent to the client. it will be passed three arguments: the query string (if any, the host, and the port. do with them what you will.
for example:
$ cat echo.gph
#!/bin/sh
echo "Hi, world! You said:" $1
echo "1Visit Gopherpedia / gopherpedia.com 70"
then:
$ gopher-client gopher://localhost/1/echo?something
[INFO] Hi, world! You said: something
[LINK] Visit Gopherpedia
or more seriously:
$ cat figlet.gph
#!/bin/sh
figlet $1
then:
$ gopher-client gopher://localhost/1/figlet?hi gopher
