bcompiler_write_exe_footer

(PECL bcompiler:0.4-0.8)

bcompiler_write_exe_footer — Writes the start pos, and sig to the end of a exe type file

Description

bool bcompiler_write_exe_footer ( resource $filehandle , int $startpos )

An EXE (or self executable) file consists of 3 parts:

The stub (executable code, e.g. a compiled C program) that loads PHP interpreter, bcompiler extension, stored Bytecodes and initiates a call for the specified function (e.g. main) or class method (e.g. main::main)
The Bytecodes (uncompressed only for the moment)
The bcompiler EXE footer

To obtain a suitable stub you can compile php_embed-based stub phpe.c located in the examples/embed directory on bcompiler's CVS.

Parameters

filehandle: A file handle as returned by fopen().
startpos: The file position at which the Bytecodes start, and can be obtained using ftell().

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

Example #1 bcompiler_write_footer() example


<?php



/* creating the output file (example.exe) */

$fh = fopen("example.exe", "w");



/* 1) writing a stub (phpe.exe) */

$size = filesize("phpe.exe");

$fr = fopen("phpe.exe", "r");

fwrite($fh, fread($fr, $size), $size);

$startpos = ftell($fh);



/* 2) writing bytecodes */

bcompiler_write_header($fh);

bcompiler_write_class($fh, "myclass");

bcompiler_write_function($fh, "main");

bcompiler_write_footer($fh);



/* 3) writing EXE footer */

bcompiler_write_exe_footer($fh, $startpos);



/* closing the output file */
