Rust.- Documentation:
- Guide:## Example
Export a simple function `function hello_world(string $name): string` to PHP:
```rust
#![cfg_attr(windows, feature(abi_vectorcall))]use ext_php_rs::prelude::*;
/// Gives you a nice greeting!
///
/// @param string $name Your name.
///
/// @return string Nice greeting!
#[php_function]
pub fn hello_world(name: String) -> String {
format!("Hello, {}!", name)
}// Required to register the extension with PHP.
#[php_module]
pub fn module(module: ModuleBuilder) -> ModuleBuilder {
module
}
```Use [`cargo-php`] to build IDE stubs and install the extension:
```text
$ cargo install cargo-php
Installing cargo-php v0.1.0
$ cargo php stubs --stdout
Compiling example-ext v0.1.0
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 3.57s
. Support is planned for other installations
eventually.
- Rust nightly is required for Windows. This is due to the [vectorcall] calling
convention being used by some PHP functions on Windows, which is only
available as a nightly unstable feature in Rust.
- It is suggested to use the `rust-lld` linker to link your extension. The MSVC
linker (`link.exe`) is supported however you may run into issues if the linker
version is not supported by your PHP installation. You can use the `rust-lld`
linker by creating a `.cargo\config.toml` file with the following content:
```toml
# Replace target triple if you have a different architecture than x86_64
[target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
linker = "rust-lld"
```
- The `cc` crate requires `cl.exe` to be present on your system. This is usually
bundled with Microsoft Visual Studio.
- `cargo-php`'s stub generation feature does not work on Windows. Rewriting this
functionality to be cross-platform is on the roadmap.[vectorcall]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/vectorcall?view=msvc-170
## Cargo Features
All features are disabled by default.
- `closure` - Enables the ability to return Rust closures to PHP. Creates a new
class type, `RustClosure`.
- `anyhow` - Implements `Into` for `anyhow::Error`, allowing you
to return anyhow results from PHP functions. Supports anyhow v1.x.## Usage
