php2zep is a tool that translate php language into zephir language

git clone https://github.com/springlchy/php2zep

​ Then, require the Php2Zep.php.

<?php
define('APP_DIR', dirname(__DIR__));
require APP_DIR . "/Php2Zep.php";
$inputDir = APP_DIR . "/examples/php/myapp"; // assume that this is the directory of your application which is written by php
$outputDir = APP_DIR . "/examples/zep/myapp"; // destination directory, .zep
$obj = new Php2Zep();
$obj->handleDir($inputDir, $outputDir);

In this example, we'll write a simple MVC applicataion using PHP, and then, translate them into zephir scripts, then build an extension. And at last, run the application with several lines of code. (Linux Only)

Of course we must have Zephir installed. See Zephir

cd /home/theta/zephir
zephir myapp

Then we have the directory structure as below:

+ myapp

| - config.json

| + ext

| + myapp (we'll put translated zephir scripts here, assume this directory is /home/theta/zephir/myapp/myapp)

We have the structure as below:

+ myapp (assume this directory is /home/theta/php/myapp)

​ | + controllers

​ | - UserController.php

​ | + models

​ | - UserModel.php

​ | - Application.php

• UserModel.php

  <?php
  namespace myapp\models;
  class UserModel
  {
   ...
  }

  See the "examples" directory for more detail.

• UserController.php

  <?php
  namespace myapp\controllers;
  use myapp\models\UserModel;
  class UserController
  {
   private $_model;
   public function __construct()
   {
   $this->_model = new UserModel();
   }
   ...
  }

  See the "examples" directory for more detail.

• Application.php

  <?php
  namespace myapp;
  class Application
  {
   private $_defaultControllerNameSpace = "\Myapp\Controllers";
   private $_defaultController = "user";
   private $_DefaultAction = "index";
   private $_controllerSuffix = "Controller";
   private $_actionSuffix = "Action";
   public function __construct()
   {
   }
   public function parseRoute()
   {
   ...
   }
   
   public function run()
   {
   ...
   }
  }

  See the "examples" directory for more detail.

​ convert.php

$inputDir = "/home/theta/php/myapp";
$outputDir = "/home/theta/zephir/myapp/myapp";
$obj = new Php2Zep();
$obj->handleDir($inputDir, $outputDir);

​ run.

php convert.php

​ move to /home/theta/zephir/myapp/myapp, we can see:

+ myapp

​ | + controllers

​ | - UserController.zep

​ | + models

​ | - UserModel.zep

​ | - Application.zep

cd /home/theta/zephir/myapp
sudo zephir install

​ Add myapp.so to your php.ini

extension=myapp.so

​ Check

php -m | grep "myapp" // output: myapp

​ Write a bootstrap script ( saving as index.php):

<?php
 $app = new \Myapp\Application();
 echo json_encode($app->run());

​ Restart phpfpm

killall phpfpm
phpfpm

​ Visit http://localhost/myapp/index.php, output:

[{"id":1,"name":"Jack","job":"Engineer"},{"id":2,"name":"Lee","job":"Actor"},{"id":3,"name":"Bill","job":"Programmer"}]

Congratulations! It Works!
