I'm working with Richard Palmer on the php module of SWIG (http://www.swig.org) Swig is used to automatically write php, perl, python, guile, java, ruby, etc etc modules to link 3rd part libraries into these scripting systems. This means if I have a fancy library "libfoo" and I want to use it for php, I just write a single simple interface file (or even use the supplied .h header file); run swig on it and taraa!!! I have a php module ready to compile in to php. Richard and myself are making some _heavy_changes_ to the php module lately and we need some eagle/gimlet eye to review the output code of some simple cases to see that we are generating the code correctly - with regards use of ZVALs, destructors, resource handling, CG() vars and so forth. My involvement with swig is working on xapian (www.xapian.org) which is the open muscat descendant; so once we get this sorted we will also have a xapian module for php; in fact php will be providing the scripting for the main xapian search & results page supplied with xapian. I've asked quite a few questions lately here but had no response and so have had to guess at the answers. Volunteers to review swig generated code would be appreciated. regards Sam Liddicott
