Can we execute node.js file using external PHP file?

Question

I have a Node.js file which returns asterisk peer status on html file when I run command node -file name. Is it possible to create a PHP script to run that file on click of button? I tried PHP exec function but it didn't work ! I want that on click of button the script should start to execute and on another button it must stop the execution.

Answer 1

Node.js only supports JavaScript. Here is a tutorial on how to have PHP running with Node.js on the side.
