= Ruby -> PHP Bridge

The Ruby PHP bridge is a tiny library providing a JSON bridge between the two languages. Any code which can be converted to JSON can be passed between the two. In both cases the '$return' variable may be set in order to convert it to the other language.

PHP::Bridge.eval '$return = array("any", "data", "here");'

=> ['any', 'data', 'here']

OR

require 'ruby-php-bridge/import' php '$return = array("something")'

=> ['something']

OR

require 'ruby-php-bridge/import' php 'array("something")'

=> ['something']

OR

bridge = PHP::Bridge.new bridge << '$a = "hello";' bridge << '$a .= " there";' bridge << '$return = $a;' bridge.eval

=> ['hello there']

As you can see in one of the examples above, '$return =' is prepended when not present, providing a cleaner API.

== PHP -> Ruby Bridge

A small PHP library functions similarily, providing a bridge to Ruby, which is located in php/php-ruby-bridge.php

ruby('$return = ["any", "data", "here"]') // => array('any', 'data', 'here')
