Subject: Need some help about using Boost.PHP to make extensions
From: jiangcat@gmail.com (Chris Jiang)

Hi all, it's been a while since my last thread. I've been playing around 
with Boost.PHP these days, and find it pretty much satisfactory. Now, I 
need some help on how Boost.PHP treat with PHP arrays. Not complaining, 
but there isn't much document I can learn from the official website.

And if this thread is NOT totally about PHP, I'm sorry about this. This 
mailing list is the only place possibly I can find answers about it. I 
can't find a suitable C/C++ forum to ask this question since they don't 
work with PHP though. :(

I'm trying to get an array('key'=>'val') (associative array) as 
argument, and return a std::string of 'key:val' back to PHP. Now, I can 
get the keys but not the arrays. I thought there might be something 
wrong with how I was using php::array::const_reference.

Can anyone be so kind to explain how it works? Or perhaps a piece of 
working code that I can learn about?

Thank you!
