Class Object

A class object is an instance of a Rust struct (which has been registered as a PHP class) that has been allocated alongside an object. You can think of a class object as a superset of an object, as a class object contains a Zend object.

Examples

Returning a reference to self

#![cfg_attr(windows, feature(abi_vectorcall))]
extern crate ext_php_rs;
use ext_php_rs::{prelude::*, types::ZendClassObject};

#[php_class]
pub struct Example {
    foo: i32,
    bar: i32
}

#[php_impl]
impl Example {
    // Even though this function doesn't have a `self` type, it is still treated as an associated method
    // and not a static method.
    pub fn builder_pattern(#[this] this: &mut ZendClassObject<Example>) -> &mut ZendClassObject<Example> {
        // do something with `this`
        this
    }
}
#[php_module]
pub fn get_module(module: ModuleBuilder) -> ModuleBuilder {
    module
}
fn main() {}

Creating a new class instance

#![cfg_attr(windows, feature(abi_vectorcall))]
extern crate ext_php_rs;
use ext_php_rs::prelude::*;

#[php_class]
pub struct Example {
    foo: i32,
    bar: i32
}

#[php_impl]
impl Example {
    pub fn make_new(foo: i32, bar: i32) -> Example {
        Example { foo, bar }
    }
}
#[php_module]
pub fn get_module(module: ModuleBuilder) -> ModuleBuilder {
    module
}
fn main() {}
