I have created new php module - php-gmime. It is binding for C gmime library with PEAR classes: GMIME_message, GMIME_part etc. - MIME parsing, creation etc. Such a module is necessary for any PHP MUA, and when someone wants to create a mail with attachments easily. BUT: I have written perl modules before, but it is my first php extension - I am sure I have done many mistakes. Then I need some advice - from where to start. My module is ready for use but in BETA stage. RPM builds and sources are available at: http://www.klaban.torun.pl/prog/gmime/ (page under construction). And I have questions for now: 1. I have seen there is some kind of packaging system - is there any reliable documentation on using it? Should I use it? 2. What name should my extension use? The C library is called gmime (http://spruce.sourceforge.org/gmime/) PHP module is then also called gmime.so, and PEAR classes are called as stated above GMIME_* 3. What type of documentation should I use? There is xmldoc like documentation now. I used phpdoc inline comments, should I convert it or not? My perl module is called MIME::Fast (would be available on CPAN), but now I know that it would be available as Mail::Box::Parser::Gmime or something like that. Should my php extension be available also as submodule of PEAR Mail or something like similar? Best regards, -- Piotr Klaban
