LAYOUT

Directory structure is as generated by the PHP utility ext_skel

ENVIRONMENT

To build a PHP environment that works with this extension, download and extract PHP 5.5 (5.6 may also work), configure it, and install it:

apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev
curl http://php.net/get/php-5.5.16.tar.gz
tar -xf php-5.5.16.tar.gz
cd php-5.5.16
./configure --with-zlib=/usr --with-libxml-dir=ext/libxml --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
make
make install

To also download and install the patched protoc and PHP code generator:

apt-get install -y procps
curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable --ruby
git clone sso://team/one-platform-grpc-team/protobuf
cd protobuf
./configure
make
make install
git clone sso://team/one-platform-grpc-team/grpc-php-protobuf-php
cd grpc-php-protobuf-php
rake pear:package version=1.0
pear install Protobuf-1.0.tgz

BUILDING

1. In ./ext/grpc, run the command phpize (distributed with PHP)
2. Run ./ext/grpc/configure
3. In ./ext/grpc, run make and sudo make install
4. In your php.ini file, add the line extension=grpc.so to load the extension at PHP startup.

PHPUnit

This repo now has PHPUnit tests, which can by run by executing ./bin/run_tests.sh after building.

There is also a generated code test (./bin/run_gen_code_test.sh), which tests the stub ./tests/generated_code/math.php against a running localhost server serving the math service. That stub is generated from ./tests/generated_code/math.proto with the head of the repo sso://team/one-platform-grpc-team/grpc-php-protobuf-php.
