- Setting properties and reading properties in javascript are directly mapped to the properties in PHP. However, we want to be able to do some testing before it, or to make readonly properties. In other words: we want to be able to map the JS properties to PHP functions.

Spidermonkey is a great addition to our software and we can add alot of functionality with a small script. Thanks!

Great work on this extension! I have a couple of feature requests (to come) and a bug report (unfortunately):

http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16967

Alas, my C skills are almost null, otherwise I’d have tried to help you on this. Maybe if you could give me at least some pointers on where to look for solving this…

One thing I found after a couple hours of tinkering with it: I don’t see a way to register a function that’s a part of class. With other PHP functions that take callbacks as parameters, when you want to callback to an object’s method, you put an array in place of the name of the function with the object as the first parameter and the name of the method as the second, e.g.:
$js->registerFunction( array( $this, ‘print’ ), ‘print’ );

(this currently gives a segmentation fault, I guess because it’s expecting a string, not an array, and there’s no error checking present)

Another nice feature would be to get the details of a javascript error back to PHP (type of error, line number ,etc) so it can be returned by PHP in a sanitized way.

Just a couple of features to think about for a future release. But this is really great and already extremely useful. Thanks for the work!
