ext-php-rs

Bindings for the Zend API to build PHP extensions natively in Rust. Inspired by killertux/solder and its predecessors.

PHP Discorders

Features

This is not a set feature list, but these are the features on my roadmap. Create an issue if there's something you'd like to see!

  • Module definitions
  • Function implementation
  • Class implementation
    • Class methods
    • Class properties
    • Class constants
  • Module constants
  • Calling PHP functions

Requirements

  • PHP 8.0 or later
    • No support is planned for lower versions.
  • Rust - no idea which version

See the following links for the dependency crate requirements:

Usage

This project only works for PHP >= 8.0 (for now). Due to the fact that the PHP extension system relies heavily on C macros (which cannot be exported to Rust easily), structs have to be hard coded in.

See the example project. There is inline documentation. Starting by creating a C extension is a good start as well.

Contributions

Contributions are very much welcome. I am a novice Rust developer and any suggestions are wanted and welcome. Feel free to file issues and PRs through Github.
