Redland - RDF Application Framework - PHP Interface

Installing the Redland PHP interface

This is built if --with-php is given to the configure line. The standard 'make' at the top level will build it.

You can also compile the PHP interface by hand as follows:

  cd php
  make
  make check   # optional

To install it system wide (this is optional) do this as root:

  # THIS IS UNTESTED
  root# make install

The PHP interface has been lightly tested with PHP 4.3.3, 4.1.2 and is alpha quality - will crash and likely to change a lot.

Redland PHP API Introduction

The PHP API is an object-based API with the class names and method names flattened into PHP procedure names like this: librdf_class_method - the same names as in the underlying C API. The object references become PHP variables.

Testing the Redland PHP interface

There should be an example program to test the PHP interface, but not yet.
