Version 1.3

A new release of PHP-CPP with bug fixes and new features. The highlights are:

• Value::unset() method has been fixed to make it possible to remove array/object members
• Reduced amount of code by using variadic templates
• All move and assignment operators are marked as 'noexcept'
• Fixed chaining methods, it now is possible to "return this"
• FIxed memory leaks
• Added Php::Script and Php::File classes that can evaluate PHP scripts
• Added methods Php::include(), Php::include_once(), Php::require() and Php::require_once()
• Fixed return value of Php::eval() function (this could break existing applications that rely on old behavior)
• It now is possible to iterate over super-globals like Php::POST, Php::SERVER, etcetera
• Added Php::Function class that allows one to capture C++ lambdas and pass them over to PHP user space
• Added support for constants using the Php::Constant class
• Added functions Php::define(), Php::defined() and Php::constant()
• Added version check to ensure that a compiled extension is compatible with the installed version of PHP-CPP

Version 1.2.2

This release is mainly a bugfix version

• Fixed a memory leak with Php::Value objects not being freed correctly when returned
• Php::Object("MyClass") no longer crashes when there is no __construct() function
• It is now slightly easier to cross compile

Version 1.2.1

Minor release which adds a few minor things.

• Php::Value can now be casted to a std::set
• Php::ByVal and Php::ByRef will now be type-less if no type provided
• Makefile will now respect the specified php-config binary
• Makefile will now build a static library as well

Version 1.2

This is mainly a bugfix version + some new features and change in behavior of some functions.

• New feature: Php::Value objects can now also be compared with other Php::Value objects using C++ comparison operators like ==, <, >, etcetera.
• Fix: magic methods were not working for objects created with Php::Object("MyClass", new MyClass())
• Fix: moving nullptr to a Php::Value object caused a crash
• Fix: infinite loop when compariting value objects with each other using operator ==
• New feature: A C++ class does no longer have to have a default constructor to be usable from PHP
• Changed behavior: PHP-CPP used to throw PHP exceptions to user space when an error occured, while the Zend engine would trigger a fatal error in similar situations and stop further execution. This was a difference between PHP-CPP and the Zend engine. This has been changed: now PHP-CPP also triggers fatal errors when the programmer makes a mistake (instead of throwing exceptions).
• Fix: methods and properties from base classes were not available in derived classes
• New feature: Php::eval() function
• New feature: Php::class_exists() function
• New feature: Php::is_a() and Php::is_subclass_of() functions
• New feature: Methods Php::Value::instanceOf() and Php::Value::derivedFrom()
• Fix: creating a Php::Value based on a std::map would not result in an array variable being created
• Fix: for objects created using Php::Object() constructor, the __construct() method was not called
• Fix: traversing through array properties was not always working when property names started with a null byte
• Fix: casting a Php::value holding an array to a map with string keys, will now turn the keys into numeric string keys ("1", "2", etcetera)
• Fix: "apachectl reload" caused a crash on PHP 5.3 environments
• Changed behavior: setting or retrieving properties of a Php::Value that start with a null byte (to rely on the Zend implementation of private properties) will no longer work (PHP-CPP users should never rely on specific Zend features)

Version 1.1.1

This release fixes a bug that caused apache to crash when the "apache reload" command was given while an extension based on PHP-CPP was installed.

Version 1.1

Release 1.1 of the PHP-CPP library contains a number of small bug fixes, and support for php.ini variables.

The source code and directory structure of the library has been refactored to prepare for future support of HHVM, so that extensions written with PHP-CPP can be used in combination with Zend, and in combination with HHVM. This is work in progress: currently PHP-CPP extensions only work with Zend.

The most important changes in version 1.1 are:

• Support for php.ini entries.
• Restructured source code to be engine agnostic.
