Hiphop converts PHP into C++ code, did anyone used it for PHP extension development?
I have found following link to write PHP extensions using C++
http://devzone.zend.com/article/4486-Wrapping-C-Classes-in-a-PHP-Extension
I want to write some PHP classes and convert them into C++ and use it in PHP extension.
Please let me know if anyone did that and also any thoughts are welcomed.
As far as I know, the point of HipHop is to bypass PHP’s Virtual Machine known as Zend Engine.
In order to create a PHP extension, you have to hook into the Zend Engine.
So if HipHop bypasses the execution done by ZE, I don’t see how it’d be possible to create a PHP class that gets translated to C++ one that would then be used to create an extension.
HipHop doesn’t convert PHP source code, it converts the BYTE code. It’s a huge difference, if it were the former.. would there be a need for using another language? 🙂
