I sure thought writing a native PHP extension in C++ would make string generation faster for the thousands I'll have to generate periodically in my web service.

**Boy, was I wrong.** At least I got to write my first PHP extension. :D

Well, here's the source code, tested and working on Ubuntu 17.04.

You might have to edit the Makefile to the appropriate PHP extensions location on your computer.

It's based on [PHP-CPP](http://www.php-cpp.com/documentation/introduction)

You'll have to [install](http://www.php-cpp.com/documentation/install) PHP-CPP on your server, then download appropriate php-dev tools for your server.

This should work just fine on Ubuntu;

```

sudo apt-get install php7.0-dev

```

Compiling:

```

make

```

Then to install;

```

sudo make install

```

Oh, well. What a beautiful day.
