1. Short array syntax

   $langs = ["php", "python", "lua"];
   $person = ["firstname" => "Dongsheng", "lastname" => "Cai"];
   

   I wish to see short class syntax, not sure how it will look like.

2. “<?=” is officially available all the time, there was an argument wether or not it should be used in project due to the short tag option in php.ini, now it’s out of question.
3. Session upload progress, I will give it a try later
4. Traits to ease the limitations of single-inheritance
5. Build-in web server! Start it using `php -S localhost:8080` command, this makes testing/debugging easier…a little bit
6. Massive performance improvement
7. No more safe mode, magic quotes, register_globals and allow call time pass reference

I compiled it on Lion 10.7, my configure is here: https://gist.github.com/1978565

Notes

- pcre library must be update-to-date, otherwise, some pattern modifiers won’t be available in php.
- libjpeg isn’t installed on OS X, I installed it by homebrew.

class static_var {
    function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }
    function output() {
        static $counter;
        $counter++;
        echo $counter.'|'.$this->name.'|';
    }
}
$t1 = new static_var('take 1');
$t1->output();
$t2 = new static_var('take 2');
$t2->output();

make && sudo make install

这样创建的 libphp5.so 是无法被 Apache 载入的，需要用 lipo 处理一下 Apache 的二进制程序

/usr/sbin$ sudo cp httpd httpd-fat
/usr/sbin$ sudo lipo httpd -thin i386 -output httpd

完了重启 Apache 就可以使用了：
sudo apachectl restart

mv /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini

重启 apache：

apachectl restart

3. 文档根目录在 /Library/WebServer/Documents，看了看 phpninfo 发现支持的扩展还不算太少

./configure --prefix=/usr --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx_error.log --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx_access.log --pid-path=/var/run/nginx.pid --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx_client_body.tmp --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx_proxy.tmp  --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/tmp/nginx_fastcgi.tmp --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_ssl_module --with-openssl=/usr/src/openssl

（启用了监控和ssl模块，重新设置文件路径）
make
make install
注意，–with-openssl 指向的是 openssl 的完整源码树。

Nginx 的配置

在 server 段中加入 root 指令，指向网站根目录，然后把 location / 段改为：

location / {
  stub_status on;
  access_log off;
}

这样就能在首页显示状态信息了，在这里用作测试。

从源码安装 PHP 5.2.7

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc/php --with-curl=shared --with-curlwrappers --enable-fastcgi --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-openssl=shared --with-mysql=shared --with-mysqli=shared --enable-zip=shared --with-xmlrpc=shared --enable-mbstring --enable-pdo=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-sqlite=shared --with-gd=shared --with-zlib
make
make install
cp php.ini-dist /etc/php/php.ini

在这种情况下，模块会编译进 PHP 而不是作为模块动态加载，如果想要创建模块需要设置 shared 选项，比如我要把 PDO 作为模块加载：

./configure --enable-pdo=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-sqlite=shared

如果是 apache 的话要加上 –with-apxs2 项以创建模块。

设置 FASTCGI

我尝试用 php-cgi 直接创建 FCGI 服务，但无法成功，只好使用 lighttpd 的 spawn-fcgi 程序创建 FCGI 服务（这里偷懒用 emerge 装的 lighttpd）：

spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -C 5 -f /usr/bin/php-cgi

最后修改 nginx 的配置文件使之调用 php FCGI 服务：

location / {
 index index.php index.htm index.html;
}
location ~ .php$ {
 fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
 fastcgi_index index.php;
 include fastcgi_params;
 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www$fastcgi_script_name;
}

创建一个 phpinfo 页面测试一下吧！

今天看了一下代码，打算在这上面解决多 Moodle 系统的资源共享问题（包含点对点和 HUB 模式），之前没用过 XMLRPC，所以现在开始学一下，我用的是 PHP 的 XMLRPC 模块（比纯 PHP 实现快了不少）。

首先实现一个 XMLRPC 服务，我封装了一个简单的类：

class xmlrpc_server {
    private $server;
    public function __construct() {
        $this->server = xmlrpc_server_create();
    }
    public function add($name, $func) {
        xmlrpc_server_register_method($this->server, $name, $func);
    }
    public function run() {
        $req = file_get_contents('php://input');
        $response = xmlrpc_server_call_method($this->server, $req, null);
        echo $response;
        xmlrpc_server_destroy($this->server);
    }
}

调用这个类创建一个服务：

header('Content-Type: text/xml');
function func_add($method, $params) {
    return $params[0]+$params[1];
}
$xmlrpc = new xmlrpc_server;
$xmlrpc->add('add', 'func_add');
$xmlrpc->run();

PHP 客户端的调用是通过 HTTP 的 POST 方法，我用的是 cURL 扩展：

require_once('curl.class.php');
class xmlrpc_client {
    public function __construct($url, $autoload = false) {
        $this->connection = null;
        $this->url = $url;
        $this->connection = new curl;
        $this->methods = array();
        if ($autoload) {
            $resp = $this->call('system.listMethods', null);
            $this->methods = $resp;
        }
    }
    public function call($method, $params = null) {
        $post = xmlrpc_encode_request($method, $params);
        return xmlrpc_decode($this->connection->post($this->url, $post));
    }
}
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
$rpc = "http://10.0.0.10/api.php";
$client = new xmlrpc_client($rpc, true);
print_r($client->call('add', array(199,2)));

待续，下一步优化代码并实现 XML 签名技术。

$requests = array('http://zz.dongsheng.org', 'http://www.google.com');
$main    = curl_multi_init();
$results = array();
$errors  = array();
$info    = array();
$count   = count($requests);
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
  $handles[$i] = curl_init($requests[$i]);
  var_dump($requests[$i]);
  curl_setopt($handles[$i], CURLOPT_URL, $requests[$i]);
  curl_setopt($handles[$i], CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_multi_add_handle($main, $handles[$i]);
}
$running = 0;

do {
  curl_multi_exec($main, $running);
} while($running > 0);

for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
  $results[] = curl_multi_getcontent($handles[$i]);
  $errors[]  = curl_error($handles[$i]);
  $info[]    = curl_getinfo($handles[$i]);
  curl_multi_remove_handle($main, $handles[$i]);
}
curl_multi_close($main);
var_dump($results);
var_dump($errors);
var_dump($info);

通过这种方式就可以实现多任务并发执行，更详细的用法看我写的这个类：curl class
