Re^2: Has anyone attempted to create a PHP to Perl converter?

But with that approach you could only deal with pure PHP.

Do you see a way to deal with PHP-extensions written in C?

I don't know much about either PHP nor XS but I would assume that without at least some database-module etc (probably written in C) such a port would not have much practical value and making a PHP-extension callable from Perl must be difficult or am I wrong?

Most PHP extensions either dump a bunch of functions into the global namespace, or define a few classes. So to implement a PHP extension, you'd simply dump a few Perl or XS functions into the "PHP::GLOBAL" namespace, or define a few Perl classes `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply]

See PHP, https://github.com/kvz/phpjs, https://github.com/Danack/PHP-to-Javascript, Translating from one language to another is just PITA, especially if they have different semantics It never includes translating the libraries; parsing the language is always the easiest part	[reply]
