Re: Using .Net assemblies with PHP

In my testing, I can load a browser page with 1,000 encryption/decryption operations in less than 2 seconds. Since I really only need to do at most a couple at a time (which comes back instantly), I can't really complain about the performance. And it certainly beats my testing of dotnet (when it actually works). I do see the advantage of how you did it, but I was looking for a more generic solution that could be used for multiple assemblies, rather than having to write a custom interface for each one. And, just to be clear, I did not write the universalccw library. I actually stumbled upon it when I was trying to figure out how to make the dotnet stuff work. Apparently the author had similar frustrations and decided to do his own. Anyway, I just thought I'd pass the info on in case it helps someone else avoid the frustration that I've been going through for the last few days. :) - Trevor On 5/17/2011 3:59 PM, Pierre Joye wrote:

hi, Interesting but it is somehow poor in term of performance (not very important in most cases). As a somehow cleaner alternative (COM is such a pain), I use C++/CLI. For example I wrote (early stage but works) an extension for the MS Chart module, you can see it here https://github.com/pierrejoye/php_mschart Cheers, On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Trevor<trevor@holyoak.com> wrote:

Just in case anyone else needs to do this, I just spent a frustrating week figuring out how to make an assembly I created with PowerBuilder.Net work with PHP. The dotnet class in PHP doesn't work very well, and has apparently been abandoned. I ended up using this instead: http://universalccw.sourceforge.net/ It's finally working great, and I am very happy. (The library also, of course, works with the regular Microsoft assemblies.) - Trevor -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
