PHP Interface
Overview
There are two ways to interface with PHP.
- Call PHP Libraries from your THT app, using the
Phpmodule. - Sideload THT in a pre-existing PHP app.
Call PHP Libraries From Your THT App
You can call PHP libraries via the Php Module.
The PHP files should be located in code/php.
They can be executed via Php.require, which uses PHP's require_once function.
// Load 'code/php/myPhpLibrary.php'
Php.require('myPhpLibrary.php')
// Call a global function
$val = Php.call('a_php_function', 'arg1', 'arg2')
// Construct a PHP object
// Namespaces can use '/' instead of '\'
$obj = Php.new('Abc/MyClass')
$obj.someMethod()
Sideload THT in a Pre-Existing PHP App
If you have a pre-existing PHP app, you can sideload a THT app to call the modules in it.
First, create a new THT app as normal.
Then you can include THT modules and pages directly.
<?php
// Require the THT runtime
$pathToThtApp = 'path/to/thtapp';
require_once($pathToThtApp . '/system/tht/lib/core/ThtSide.php');
// Include a THT module and call its functions
$testMod = Tht::module('TestModule');
$testMod->myFunction(123);
// Or run a route and then exit the script.
Tht::page('/my-route');
