  • Static fields

    Every bunch of static fields is represented as a nested class named "_statics", whose instance is lazily bound to a web request, represented as a Context class in Peachpie. Then, by accessing a static field of a class, the compiler actually generates code that retrieves instances of "_statics" from Context and accesses its instance (non-static) fields. For more information on this, please refer to http://www.peachpie.io/2016/06/static-fields.html .

  • Sample compilation optimization snippet

    This optimization avoids repetitious memory copying. Since call_user_func_array() takes an associative array that has to be internally copied into a simple array, we shall use call_user_func() instead. It takes .NET params as a flat array already.

  • Replacing call_user_func() with an actual functions call

    Just to see the overhead of dynamic calls caused by constant lookups into hashtables, let us get rid of call_user_func() completely. We will replace it with an actual functions call.

  • SimpleDog class snippet

    Here you can see a 'SimpleDog' class and 'goodboy' global function in PHP. Notice the well-known PHPDoc annotation '@param' that we use to mark the function parameter's type, which means that the compiled methods have a specific CLI type.

  • Referencing .dll from PHP

    The dependencies in a .NET dll become seamlessly available to the PHP code with Peachpie. The compiler takes care of this process and allows you to use the C# symbols in PHP. See this article: http://www.peachpie.io/2016/12/php-dotnet-csharp-interoperability.html.

  • Declaration injection at runtime

    Peachpie allows you to define PHP global functions as C# lambdas dynamically at runtime. You can use a non-existing global function in your PHP code, so the compiler postpones its direct call by using 'Call Sites'. Then, we provide the function definition in the runtime before the call is made so that the runtime uses your provided method.

  • Include of a non-compiled content file

    The line 'require_once( $svg_icons )' allows one to upload a file onto the host's server if not otherwise handled. Peachpie actually helps in this case, as we do not allow the Include of a non-compiled content file. The compiler recognizes that WordPress performs a Require on a file that had originally not been compiled. Rather than running it, which can potentially be harmful, it merely inserts its content into the site.

    The following code wraps logic to construct CSV output from an array of data.
