-and a file "menu.gpxe" ​containing+You must choose between being able to load vesamenu.c32 directly ​and loading the current version of vesamenu.c32. 
 +==== vesamenu.c32 current ==== 
 +The current version of vesamenu.c32 can not be loaded directly from gPXE and requires PXELINUX as an intermediate layer. ​ You will need two PHP files, ​boot.php containing
  
-    ​#!gpxe +  <?php 
-     +   
-    ​imgfree +  header ( "​Content-type:​ text/​plain"​ ); 
-    ​login +  echo "#!gpxe\n"; 
-    ​kernel -menu https://​${username:​uristring}:​${password:​uristring}@my.web.server/​boot/​vesamenu.c32 menu.php +   
-    boot menu+  $proto = "​https";​ 
 +  // Comment out/remove the following if strictly using HTTPS 
 +  if (!isset($_SERVER["​HTTPS"​])) 
 +    ​$proto = "​http";​ 
 +   
 +  // This assigns the host that gPXE should use using the most logical variables 
 +  if ( $_SERVER["​HTTP_HOST"​] != ""​ ) { 
 +    ​$host=$_SERVER["​HTTP_HOST"​];​ 
 +  } else { 
 +    ​if ( $_SERVER["​SERVER_NAME"​] != 0) { 
 +  $host=$_SERVER["​SERVER_NAME"​];​ 
 +    ​} else { 
 +  $host=$_SERVER["​SERVER_ADDR"​];​ 
 +    } 
 +  } 
 +   
 +  // Comment out/remove the following if you are running on a standard port 
 +  if (!((! isset($_SERVER["​HTTPS"​]) ) && ($_SERVER["​SERVER_PORT"​] == 80)) 
 +    && !(isset($_SERVER["​HTTPS"​]) && ($_SERVER["​SERVER_PORT"​] == 443)) ){ 
 +      if (strrpos($host,​ ":"​) == FALSE) 
 +        $host=$host.":"​.$_SERVER["​SERVER_PORT"​];​ 
 +  } 
 +   
 +  $uri=$_SERVER["​REQUEST_URI"​];​ 
 +  $dir=substr ( $uri, 0, strrpos ($uri, "/"​) + 1); 
 +   
 +  echo "#​!gpxe\n"; 
 +  echo "​imgfree\n";​ 
 +  echo "​login\n";​ 
 +  echo "set 209:string bootcfg.php\n";​

 +       ​$proto."​://\${username:​uristring}:​\${password:​uristring}@". 
 +       $host.$dir."​\n";​ 
 +  echo "chain \${210:​string}pxelinux.0\n";​

 + 
 +and a bootcfg.php containing 
 + 
 +  <?php 
 +   
 +  header ( "​Content-type:​ text/plain" ); 
 +   
 +  echo "UI runmenu\n\n";​ 
 +  echo "LABEL runmenu\n";​ 
 +  echo "COM32 vesamenu.c32\n";​ 
 +  echo "​APPEND menu.php\n";​ 
 +  ?> 
 + 
 +Selecting this method will require that you use gpxecmd.c32 to execute gPXE commands and scripts. 
 +==== vesamenu.c32 directly ==== 
 +You will need a file "boot.php" containing 
 + 
 +  <?php 
 +   
 +  header ( "​Content-type:​ text/plain" ); 
 +   
 +  $uri=$_SERVER["​REQUEST_URI"​];​ 
 +  $dir=substr ( $uri, 0, strrpos ($uri, "/"​) + 1); 
 +   
 +  echo "#​!gpxe\n";​ 
 +  echo "​imgfree\n";​ 
 +  echo "​login\n";​ 
 +  echo "chain ". 
 +       "​https://​\${username:​uristring}:​\${password:​uristring}@"​. 
 +       ​$_SERVER["​HTTP_HOST"​].$dir. 
 +       "​vesamenu.c32 menu.php\n"; 
 +  ?>​ 
 + 
 +In order to use vesamenu.c32 directly from gPXE, you must use Syslinux-3.86 from [[http://​www.kernel.org/​pub/​linux/​utils/​boot/​syslinux/​3.xx/​]] and not the latest version.
