Hi,
While adding some CA support functions to the openssl extension I have
discovered the need to be able to have a large number of optional parameters
(there are just so many things to tune for a certificate).
Obviously this is a real pain to code in "user space".
How about a new zend function that will parse values, much like
zend_parse_parameters does, except that it operates on a hash and allows
you to specify the keys of the hash:
my_zval = array(
"firstname" => "fred",
"lastname" => "bloggs",
"age" => 42
);
char * firstname = NULL; long firstname_len;
char * lastname = NULL; long lastname_len;
long age = 0;
zend_parse_parameters_hash(HASH_OF(my_zval),
// mandatory string value with key "firstname"
"s%firstname", &firstname, &firstname_len,
// optional string value with key "lastname"
"|s%lastname", &lastname, &lastname_len,
// mandatory long value with key "age"
"l%age", &age
NULL
);
Any thoughts?
I know Andrei mentioned a _hash function in his announcement of
zend_parse_parameters, but I don't remember seeing anything about
it doing what I have described above.
