Hello Tijnema, we have a few PECL extensions that deal with audio stuff. So it is possible but that definitively requires a lot of C skills. Apply for any of the ideas as a student on the GSoC page if you like. best regards marcus

Hi Marcus, I'm not sure about which PECL extensions you are talking, i can only find one for OGGvorbis support. I have quite a lot C skills, i think it's not a real big problem to write it (at least for me). But as you know it is impossible to write such thing in my own (or work for a year or more on it). And well the question is, will it be useful? It's nice if it's built into PHP then, but what if there's no interest for it? Of course i want to apply for an idea, but just don't know which to choose :) Kind Regards, Tijnema

Hello Tijnema, cool, have a look at the site then. If Ilia didn't update it just wait a bit - we are having network problems here during the conference. best regards marcus

Hi, I read a lot of text, just for information and i like the idea of GSoC. There are some interesting things on the PHP Ideas list, and it looks like this idea is the simplest one. As the phpt file structure is quite easy and there's (AFAIK) no knowledge of C/C++ needed. Only a little bit PHP programming, and writing the expected result :) But i have also some ideas, but i have no idea if it is possible or useful in PHP. For example i'd like to see support for handling audio/video files in PHP, to do all kind of music processing in PHP, or create music streams directly from within a website. I haven't seen this on any other web based programming language yet. Kind Regards, Tijnema ps. Yes i know the oggvorbis PECL package, but this is only for OGG.

Hello Ilia, of course we can. The question is how do we find a student for ideas we have? best regards marcus

I'm a student :)

I'm not sure what the requirements for this are, but i've programmed a lot in PHP and C/C++.

Ca we have a project designed to improve code coverage of PHP by creating .phpt tests? I may not seem like a complex project, but in terms of improving PHP as a language it would be exceptionally useful. Probably more so then any one extension that can come out of GSoC.
