Hi Johannes,
Yes I just found out that I should extend instead of the approach I was
thinking about.
So I created this:
typedef struct _foo_object {
zend_object std;
zval *array;
int size;
} foo_object;
So the question is how do I correctly pass foo_object around so that I can
manipulate *array ? Having a private variable would mean calling getThis()
and handling it that way would be trivial.
Are there any examples I could see? I'm using the slides from your
presentation in 2009 to help me.
thanks
