Re: How to get a string from C library into PHP via SWIG?

A little more information: my crashes all relate to handling the char datatype. Floats and ints are happy. I suspect that a char type in PHP is not the same as a char type in C. But I am not sure at all. More recently I have used cmalloc.i to allocate arrays of chars and floats. The floats are happy, the chars crash upon allocation. Weird.
