INTRODUCTION

The Mono extension allows PHP to access .NET assemblies via the Mono (http://www.go-mono.com/) library. To use this extension, download it, copy it to the "ext/" directory in your PHP5 cvs tree as "mono." Re-run ./buildconf and then type ./configure --with-mono:

$ cp -rf php_mono_0_2 php5/ext/mono
$ cd php5
$ ./buildconf
[snip output]
$ ./configure --with-mono
[snip output]

Once you have compiled mono and php, try the following "Hello World" code.

<?php
Console = new Mono('System.Console');
$Console->WriteLine('Hello World');
?>

You can see some other various samples.

This code is very experimental. While it is pretty full featured at this point, it is still alpha software.

The current TODO is:

* Marshall PHP arrays into System.Array types
* Allow people to specify arrays and parameter arrays in method signatures
* Allow people to specify return values in method signatures
* Clean up the source code
