Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Casting a PHP type, new SAPI
From: bas@tobin.nl (Bas van Beek)

Hi Ingwie,

I fail to see why this would be considered a SAPI? It doesn't seem to =
integrate with application code written in another language to exchange =
data between php userland and local application variables.=20

Just seems like you're trying to accomplish a dedicated server/daemon =
that listens for messages on a TCP port with a self developed JSON =
protocol and answers according to that protocol. If that is what you are =
trying to accomplish you could do that easily in PHP userland using CLI.

Much better approach would be using such a CLI script together with an =
event based messaging system waiting for incoming messages using =
technologies like gearman, activemq, kafka, etc. This would give you so =
much more power in ways of load balancing, fail-over and/or replication =
and multi=20
language support that I see no use for JRP, as all can be done within a =
matter of hours using regular existing PHP extensions and the CLI =
executor.

As mentioned in the README, process on this will begin later. For now, I =
am going to use helper libraries, but late ron I want to strip the =
project to lesser and lesser dependencies. But it will remain being =
written in C++.
