Boost.PHP

Boost.PHP is a set of C++ header files that allows you to create your PHP extension in C++ without any obfuscating ZEND_* / PHP_* macros, like the glorious Boost.Python after which this is loosely designed.

A typical example that defines a couple of user-land functions add() and sub():

#include "boost/php/module.hpp"
#include "boost/php/function.hpp"
using namespace boost;
class m002_module

    : public php::module,

      public php::function_container {

public:

    class handler

        : public php::module::handler {

    public:

        handler(m002_module* mod)

            :php::module::handler(mod) {}
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
int sub(int a, int b) {
return a – b;
}
};
public:

    m002_module(zend_module_entry* entry)

        : php::module(entry) {

        entry→functions =

             defun(“add”, &handler::add).

             defun(“sub”, &handler::sub);

    }

};
