FAQ
After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.
Example:
Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.

- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package hello-zig
hello-zig
Learning-focused sample of a PHP extension that calls Zig through a C ABI (FFI boundary).
Learning goals
- Understand how PHP extension C code calls a Zig function.
- Understand how Zig builds a static library consumed by PHP extension build.
- Understand how PIE metadata points to the extension build directory.
Project layout
composer.json: PIE metadata (type: php-ext, build path, extension name)ext/config.m4: phpize/autoconf build integration and Zig library linkingext/hello_zig.c: PHP function registration and call into Zig ABIext/zig/build.zig: Zig static library build definitionext/zig/src/hellozig.zig: exported Zig function (hellozig_message)ext/zig/src/hellozig.h: C header consumed fromhello_zig.cext/tests/001_hello_zig_hello.phpt: runtime behavior test
How the call flow works
- PHP userland calls
hello_zig_hello(). - PHP extension C code (
ext/hello_zig.c) invokeshellozig_message(). hellozig_message()is implemented in Zig and exported with C ABI.- Returned C string is sent back to PHP as a string result.
Install with PIE (from Packagist)
This package is intended to be installable from Packagist:
https://packagist.org/packages/masakielastic/hello-zig
Example:
Expected output:
Build and run (from clean state)
Prerequisites:
phpizeand PHP development headers- Zig compiler (on
PATH, or provided viaZIG=/path/to/zig)
Expected output:
Run tests
What to edit while learning
- Change return text:
ext/zig/src/hellozig.zig - Add new PHP function:
ext/hello_zig.c(function entry table + implementation) - Add new Zig export and header declaration:
ext/zig/src/hellozig.zigandext/zig/src/hellozig.h - Add regression test:
ext/tests/*.phpt
Troubleshooting
zig command not found:- Pass explicit path:
ZIG=/absolute/path/to/zig ./configure --enable-hello-zig
- Pass explicit path:
- Build errors after file moves:
- Re-run from clean build dir:
phpizethen./configurethenmake
- Re-run from clean build dir:
- Extension not loading:
- Confirm
.soexists atext/modules/hello_zig.so - Use absolute path in
-dextension=...
