Hi,
I have a question related to the use of objects in DL extensions in
PHP4. I found no mailing list specific to PHP module development, so I
hope this list is the right place to ask... if not then please point me
to the right list.
I have a DL module that was originally developed for PHP3 and has been
ported to PHP4. It is a set of PHP wrapper classes on top of C
structures/functions (I reproduced what SWIG would do for Perl for
instance).
Everything works fine except that I am looking for a way to set a
message handler that would get called if one of the object's member
variables is changed by the PHP script. Then my message handler would
propagate the change to the internal C structure that the PHP class is
encapsulating.
I have seen in PHP4 that the idea of message handlers has been added in
a few places, for instance, it seems to be possible to set a message
handler for changes to some .ini parameters. I also saw a
message_handler member in the zend_extension struct.
Is there any way to set an OnChange message handler on object member
variables? Probably not... but then is there any plan to support such a
feature?
BTW, what's the difference betwen a "module" (i.e. zend_module struct)
and an "extension" (i.e. zend_extension struct)? What are
zend_extension structs used for?
Thanks,
--

Don't put for tomorrow what you can do today, because if
you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.
