Re: php source q's

You have to accept a parameter of type "a" in php_gtk_parse_args() and then iterate through it and add elements to gchar** array. Something like: override gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings PHP_FUNCTION(gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings) {

    zval *php_list, **item;
    GList *list = NULL;

#ifdef PHP_WIN32

    gchar *utf8_text = NULL;

#endif

    NOT_STATIC_METHOD();

    if (!php_gtk_parse_args(ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), "a/", &php_list))
        return;

    zend_hash_internal_pointer_reset(Z_ARRVAL_P(php_list));
    while (zend_hash_get_current_data(Z_ARRVAL_P(php_list), (void **)&item) == SUCCESS) {
        convert_to_string_ex(item);

#ifdef PHP_WIN32

        utf8_text = g_convert(Z_STRVAL_PP(item), Z_STRLEN_PP(item), "UTF-8", GTK_G(codepage), NULL, NULL, NULL);
        list = g_list_append(list, utf8_text);

#else

        list = g_list_append(list, Z_STRVAL_PP(item));

#endif

        zend_hash_move_forward(Z_ARRVAL_P(php_list));
    }

    gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings(GTK_COMBO(PHP_GTK_GET(this_ptr)), list);
    g_list_free(list);
    RETURN_TRUE;

} But this code is from PHP-GTK 1 so it might need to be adjusted. -Andrei On Jul 24, 2005, at 4:39 AM, Simon wrote:

how to grab an array passed as an argument ,& convert it to the correct type ? Yes I did look at the php documentation but totally confused .. there are a few Dialog functions that could be cleaned up if only I had a clue what I was doing ;) ... e.g. I want to learn /*********************************************************/ static PHP_METHOD(GtkAboutDialog, set_documenters) {

        gchar *doccers[] = {
                         "Andrei",
                         "Steph",
                         "Christian",
                         "Scott...etc",
                          NULL
                         };
        zend_bool free_doccers;

gtk_about_dialog_set_documenters(GTK_ABOUT_DIALOG(PHPG_GOBJECT(this_ptr)), doccers);

        if (free_doccers) g_free(doccers);

} /*****************************************************/ The above works in as much that the doccers array is successfully passed to the dialog (and the credits button appears) , I think I have ints worked out ~ but what is the process for grabbing an array argument & then converting to the expected type ?gchar**?
