I'm trying to compile LESS from PHP and don't want to use node.js or ruby.

There's this PHP implementation I found through Google but it seams really outdated and lacks support for newer features.

I was thinking of using the V8js API to run less.js, would that work since it has no DOM support?

Basically my question is: How can I run this JS file from a PHP application?

Here's the answer:

There's no other way for the moment.

If you want completely hands-free LESS compiling, try Relayer:

It's free and very simple to use.

You can use PhpLessDemandBridge for that

You can simply use it in your Templates, like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="css/engine/css.php?file=bootstrap.less" />

The Engine can be configured via config file, where you define your path to the less files and cache files.

By defining "css.php?file=bootstrap.less", you point the Engine to the bootstrap file, which imports other less files e.g. Twitter Bootstrap or such.

I am using this for Magento, TYPO3 CMS and many more.

In the first line, i am including needed parts of Twitter Bootstrap - after that i am including my own theme and overrides.

Good news! We have new Less compiler for this case: https://github.com/wikimedia/less.php

It has no namespace issues and is easy enough to add and use.
