This is super experimental
Run javascript inside PHP, powered by the awesome Duktape Javascript engine.
- It's fun!
- Javascript is becoming mainstream, with hundreds of libraries. Having an easy way of sharing code with Javascript natively makes using
phpize
./configure --enable-js
make install
Then add extension=phpjs.so
to your php.ini
How to use it?
There is JS
class, each instance runs it's own Javascript virtual machine (or duktape's context).
$js1 = new JS;
$js1->load("foobar.js");
The JS
object is like a proxy between the Javascript
and the PHP
userlands. In the PHP side, the JS
looks like an Array or an object.
$js['foobar'] = 1; // Set `foobar` inside Javascript (global variable)
var_dump($js['XXX']); // Read global variable 'XXX' from javascript
$js->fnc(); // Call fnc() function from Javascript.
Inside Javascript
there are also some intergration. For instance we have a $PHP
(or PHP) global object.
$PHP.var_dump("something"); // Call a PHP function!
$PHP.$something = 1; // set a variable
print($PHP.$something_else); // read a variable from PHP
- Better sharing of objects between PHP and Javascript
- More documentation
- More integration :-)
