bcompiler_write_exe_footer

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

The startpos is the file position at which the Bytecodes start, and can be obtained using ftell($fh).

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

Exempel 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, $startpos); /* closing the output file */ fclose($fh); ?>
