Phuby wraps PHP in a loving embrace. Exposes a PHP runtime in ruby

• many

php = Phuby::Runtime.new
php.start

php.eval('$hello = "world"')
assert_equal "world", php['hello']

php.stop

• php

I've only tested this gem on OS X. It should work on other operating systems, but you'll need to install php with the --enable-embed flag yourself.

On OS X:

Make sure you have mysql installed with homebrew before installing this gem

No, seriously, make sure that mysql is installed. It's hardcoded in the extconf.rb, and I don't feel like fixing it. If you would like to submit a patch that would be great, but I don't want to deal. Just install mysql.

Run this command (IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME BECAUSE IT LITERALLY BUILDS PHP):

$ gem install phuby

On other operating systems, install php first, then do the gem install.

• No.

• Don't
