phprados update

[Wido den Hollander]

Hi,

Some time ago the API of librados changed thus breaking phprados. I 
tried implementing the C++ API of librados in PHP but I got pretty stuck 
there with the new IoCTX stuff.

So I went to the C API and started implementing a C-only phprados with 
just using the C functions.

I just finished with implementing most of the librados functionality, 
this includes:

* Connecting
* Creating and removing pools
* Object handling like write and read
* Xattr handling
* Snapshot handling

I stayed away from the rados tmap's, exec and async writes for now, 
since I don't think a lot of PHP users will be using that functionality 
(yet).

My next steps are to hunt down some bugs and start writing a Object 
based version in PHP, but I'll be using the internal object methods of 
PHP for this while calling the C functions of librados in the background.

This way I can create a RADOS object in PHP which meets the "standard" 
of what PHP users are used to. For example: It is not common in PHP to 
define the number of bytes you want to read when retrieving the value of 
a xattr, PHP should figure that out for you.

Any comments or suggestions on this?

phprados can be found at: http://www.widodh.nl/git/phprados.git

Further down the road I'll upload some tar archives as well.

Streamwrappers are something I'm also working on, for example:

<?php
mkdir("rados://pool1");
?>

<?php
file_get_contents("rados://pool1/object1");
?>

<?php
file_put_contents("rados://pool1/object1", "some string");
?>

phprados can be found at: http://www.widodh.nl/git/phprados.git

Or you can download it at: 
http://zooi.widodh.nl/ceph/phprados/phprados_latest.tar.gz

I also updated the Wiki: http://ceph.newdream.net/wiki/Phprados

Any comments or suggestions on this?

I'd say you are the authority on phprados, so go right ahead.

I updated https://github.com/NewDreamNetwork/phprados based on you
repository. Would you like direct push access to that repository? Just
confirm your username on github is wido and I'll add you..

Oh, that would be great indeed. My username is indeed "wido" on Github.

Is there any way I can contribute to the docs in ceph.newdream.net/docs? 
Since the docs are moving it might be a better place to write some docs 
there?

You have push access to phprados.git now.

The docs are just reStructuredText files in doc/  subdirectory of
ceph.git, built with ./admin/build-doc using http://sphinx.pocoo.org/
-- submit patches and pull requests as you would normally.
