Yes, I want to make it easy for someone who doesn't know anything
about how to handle core PHP/Zend code. Here is a litte sample of what
already can be done with it:

#include "php-cpp.h"

PHPCPP_FUNCTION( my_func )
{
    PHPCPP_CHECKARG( 1 );
    PHPCPP_VECTORIZE( Params );
    Params[ 0 ]++;

    PHPCPP_RETURN( Params[ 0 ] );
}

int main( )
{
    // Initialize, called once per app.
    Php :: Initialize( );

    Php :: AddFunctionEx( my_func );

    Php :: RequestStart( );
    {
        Php :: clZval A( 10 );
        Php :: clZval B( 20 );
        Php :: clZval C;

        C =3D A + B;
        Php :: SetGlobal( "foo", C );
        Php :: Interpret( "echo( my_func( $foo ) );" );
    }
    Php :: RequestEnd( );

    Php :: Destroy( );
}
(This code is untested, I've wrote it from memory =3DP)

I'm not aiming for PHP4. I even have this in my code:

#define PHPCPP_PHPVERSION ( PHP_MAJOR_VERSION * 10 + PHP_MINOR_VERSION )
#if PHPCPP_PHPVERSION < 51
    #error "Only PHP 5.1.0 and up is supported!"
#endif

Basically, yes. =3D)
