How to compile BibTeX in PHP

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

How BibTeX can be compiled in PHP? I have tried some PHP libraries, but the thing is that Latex works with Bibtex better I guess.

Can I automatically use Latex to parse the Bibtex and then my app to get the results back?

Can/Shall I integrate any Latex component into my app? Is it possible? or should I try something else?

I don't know to what kind of approach I should look at. In my implementation, currently I have the following issues:

1. Math mode characters are not transformed by the library. When Greek letters are present (eg a title in Greek) the vast majority of the letters are not compiled (they are in math mode). Some though, compile, I don't know why...

2. Long names, which is authors that have a lot name parts, such as

Ribeiro, Antonio Augusto Coppi Maciel

(this is one author).

Any suggestion/idea???

Thank you!
