This is built if --with-php is given to the configure line. The standard 'make' at the top level will build it.
You can also compile the PHP interface by hand as follows:
cd php make # optional, but it may require a top-level 'make install # first depending on the operating system and how it # handles shared libraries make check
To install it system wide do this as root (or maybe via sudo make install). NOTE: This is untested:
root# make install
The PHP interface has been lightly tested with PHP 4.3.3, 4.3.2, 4.2.2, 4.1.2 and is beta quality - has been used in production and tested.
The PHP API is an object-based API with the class names and method names flattened into PHP procedure names like this: librdf_class_method - the same names as in the underlying C API. The object references become PHP variables.
There should be an example program to test the PHP interface, but not yet.
