HOWTO: Use a php script for my editing

I want to pass the text that is selected in my editor to a php script, make modifications to the text and then return it back to the editor. So far I know how to run a php script externally from the customizations setting but I don't know how to pass the text in the editor to that script.

Please follow the instructions below:

1. Create a customization entry (a menu item)
2. Set Execute With -> Shell
3. Command line should be
@PHP@ -q "full_path_to_my_script\myscript.php"
4. Other settings:
- -check "Show this command in File Bar popup
- -check "Work with editor"
- -check "Take input from..."
- -check "Selected text"
- -check "Return results to the editor"
The other settings can be left by default or you can set them according to your needs.
5. your script should read input stream for processing and echo results back, for example:
<?php
$f = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$s = fread($f, 100000); // should be big enough
fclose($f);
echo "\"" . $s . "\"";
?>

Please note, that input stream will be ended with "\n" (line feed), regardless whether you selected a single char or whole the line. Very useful scripts integrated this way can be found there.
