Hi mscdex,
I have multiple goals with this project, but most importantly, my hope in
plugging PHP into node is to extend it's usefulness to new demographics
rather than replacing or competing with existing features. The function of
particular packages or extensions might be similar, but it's the
familiarity of the PHP platform that I feel many people will appreciate.
I also want to add that I finished a revision of the invocation framework.
PHP can now be used within JavaScript almost identically as in PHP script,
such as:
var mysqli = new php_class("MySQLi", host, user, pass, database);
var results = mysql.query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `id` = 1;");
var row = results.fetch_assoc();
php.printf ("%s, %s\n", row['lname'], row['fname']);
or:
var out = "";
var fp = php.fsockopen("nodejs.org", 80, errno, errstr, 30);
if (fp == false) {
php.print("failed, but I can't show vars populated by ref yet :/");
} else {
out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
"Host: nodejs.org\r\n" +
"Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
php.fwrite(fp, out);
while (!php.feof(fp)) {
php.print(php.fgets(fp, 128));
}
php.fclose(fp);
}
