p8

A PHP 8.6 engine in safe Rust. It is embeddable. Its command is p8: it runs PHP with php's command line, and compiles and serves a project.

Not released yet. It is graded on php-src's own tests: p8-test-suite.addis.gg.

Run

cargo build -p php-cli --release
./target/release/p8 -r 'echo PHP_VERSION, "\n";'
./target/release/p8 -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t .

A project compiled ahead and served from its package (.p8/ beside the source):

./target/release/p8 compile path/to/site
./target/release/p8 serve path/to/site --listen 127.0.0.1:8000

Test

php-src's own tests, with php-src checked out at the commit p8-test-suite pins (crates/php-test/php-src):

cargo build -p php-test --release
./target/release/php-test ../php-src --suite ../p8-test-suite --php target/release/p8

Embed

Hosts talk only to the p8 crate. #![forbid(unsafe_code)] is on the engine and the hosts. SECURITY.md is the rule.

let platform = p8::Platform::new(&[p8::extensions::STANDARD]);
let mut isolate = platform.new_isolate();
let script = platform.compile(b"<?php echo 1 + 2;", "a.php");
