phper
A framework for writing PHP extensions in pure, safe Rust, enabling high-performance native modules.
What is phper?
PHPER is a framework that allows developers to write PHP extensions using the Rust programming language instead of C. It provides a safe, ergonomic interface to PHP's internal APIs, enabling the creation of high-performance native modules with Rust's memory safety guarantees. This approach reduces common vulnerabilities associated with traditional C extensions while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of PHP versions.
PHP developers and system engineers who need to create high-performance native extensions, particularly those looking to leverage Rust's safety and performance for PHP module development.
Developers choose PHPER because it modernizes PHP extension development by replacing error-prone C code with safe Rust, offering better performance, memory safety, and a more developer-friendly API while maintaining broad PHP version and platform compatibility.
