PHP2js

Release early? ... ok! :)

So this is the first release of a PHP script that converts a php file to js.

Whats working?

• Operators and stuff (=, ==, &&, etc.)
• if, else, elseif, while, break
• arrays (gets converted to hashes)
• classes, methods, functions, return, new
• echo (document.write()) :)
• foreach (gets converted to for (i in var)
• public class variables
• whitespace, eval
• Comments, phpdoc

Whats not working?

• extends, abstract, typecasting, case, alternative syntax, global, implements, include, isset, private, protected, switch, throw, try, var
• all the native php functions, although some can be found at http://phpjs.org/

Code Status

• As ugly as ass, and the result of a one-night stand with eclipse, hardly any comments. See it here: http://code.google.com/p/php-to-js/source/browse/trunk/PHP2js.php

Show me something god dammit!

Can has php:

<?
require_once 'PHP2js.php';
new PHP2js(__FILE__);
/**
 * My super cool php class that will be converted to js!!!
 */
class HelloWorld {
	/**
	 * So here goes a function that echos
	 *
	 * @param string $foo
	 * @param string $bar
	 */
	function foo($foo, $bar) {
		echo $foo . ' ' . $bar;
	}
}
$H = new HelloWorld;
$H->foo();
?>

Point your browser to it and you get the js code:

/**
 * My super cool php class that will be converted to js!!!
 */
function HelloWorld()  {
	/**
	 * So here goes a function that echos
	 *
	 * @param string $foo
	 * @param string $bar
	 */
	this.foo = function(foo, bar) {
		document.write( foo + ' ' + bar);
	}
}
H = new HelloWorld;
H.foo('Hello', 'World');

and what you will see:

Hello World
