Package protobuf-php
Short Description proto library for PHP

Informations about the package protobuf-php
This directory contains the Protocol Buffers runtime implementation via both a pure PHP package and a native c extension. The pure PHP package is intended to provide usability to wider range of PHP platforms, while the c extension is intended to provide higher performance. Both implementations provide the same runtime APIs and share the same generated code. Users don’t need to re-generate code for the same proto definition when they want to switch the implementation later.
Both implementations make use of generated PHP code that defines message and enum types in PHP. We strongly recommend using protoc's PHP generation support with .proto files. The build process in this directory only installs the extension/package; you need to install protoc as well to have PHP code generation functionality.
Requirements
To use PHP runtime library requires:
- C extension: PHP 5.5.x or 5.6.x.
- PHP package: PHP 5.5, 5.6 or 7.
Installation
C Extension

Installation from PECL
When we release a version of Protocol Buffers, we will upload the extension to PECL. To use this pre-packaged extension, simply install it as you would any other extension:
PHP Package
Installation from composer
Simply add "google/protobuf" to the 'require' section of composer.json in your project.
Protoc
Once the extension or package is installed, if you wish to generate PHP code
from a .proto
file, you will also want to install the Protocol Buffers
compiler (protoc), as described in this repository's main README
file. The
version of protoc
included in the latest release supports the --php_out
option to generate PHP code:
