PHP, which stands
for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" is a widely-used Open Source
general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web
development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C,
Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is
to allow web developers to write dynamically generated WebPages
quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.
PHP4Delphi is
a Visual Development Framework for creating
custom PHP Extensions
using Delphi. PHP extension, in the most basic of terms, is a set of
instructions that is designed to add functionality to PHP.
PHP4Delphi also
allows executing the PHP scripts within the Delphi program directly
from file or memory. You can read and write global PHP variables and
set the result value.
PHP4Delphi allows
you to embed the PHP interpreter into your Delphi application so you
can extend and customize the application without having to recompile
it.
PHP4Delphi is organized into the following subprojects:
• PHP scripting (using PHP in Delphi applications)
PHP4Delphi allows to execute the PHP scripts within the Delphi
program directly without a WebServer.
• PHP extensions development framework (using Delphi to
extend PHP functionality)
Visual Development Framework gives possibility to create custom
PHP Extensions using Delphi.
• PHP4Applications (integrate PHP in any application)
Supports C, C++, Visual Basic, VBA, etc…
PHP is freely available from
http://www.php.net/

New visual PHP extension
development framework to create PHP extensions using Delphi.

The creation of a PHP
Extension DLL is similar to the development of any standard DLL. For
this purpose it is necessary to load Delphi, in the menu File
choose item New, then in a New Items dialog box choose an icon
PHP Extension and to press the OK button.
PHP4Delphi provides a full
design time environment for the development of PHP Extensions. A
special Data Module PHPExtension is added to your new project; You can
place any non-visual controls in it and work with them.

The main properties of
PHPExtension module are:
- Name:
Contains the module name (for example, "File functions", "Socket
functions", "Crypt", etc.). This name will show up in phpinfo(),
in the section "Additional Modules."
- Version: The
version of the module. You can use NO_VERSION_YET if you don't want
to give the module a version number yet, but we really recommend
that you add a version string here. Such a version string can look
like this (in chronological order): "2.5-dev", "2.5RC1", "2.5" or
"2.5pl3".
- Functions:
Contains all the functions that are to be made available externally,
with the function's name as it should appear in PHP

TPHPFunction properties:
- Name:
Denotes the function name as seen in PHP (for example, fopen,
mysql_connect, or, in our example, myfunction).
- Parameters:
Contains the collection of function parameters. Each parameter
object in the collection represents an individual parameter. Use
Items to access a particular parameter. Index indicates the specific
parameter to access. Index identifies the parameter’s position in
the collection of parameters, in the range 0 to Count - 1.
