@ gggeek: I'm working on all of your points:
- article on using rhino is coming (I've indeed just finished rewriting the test-suite)
- separate php.js site (progress @ www.phpjs.org)
- and custom packaging of php.js (will be a site-feature)
- list of unported function (can be found in SVN already: http://trac.plutonia.nl/projects/phpjs/browser/trunk/_unported)
... [more]
Thanks for your input!

WOW - so nice to see someone doing this project. I have been thinking about it ever since porting a php library to javascript, but never had enough time to really do anything about it.

Now, some ideas and request:

- sorry if there are already answers to these in the blog, but I find quite hard to search for info in here. I read that the project is going to be moved to its own site, and I will wait for that. Why not move to sf.net? They have svn, bug tracker etc, and setting up a project is quite straightforward. Also using http for svn is better for people who want to access via firewalls.

- there looks to be some code for parsing php docs for getting the list of functions and running unit tests in rhino. It would be nice to have a little more docs on those. Also a script that lists porting status of every php function would be good (yes/no + known quirks), possibly with a total percentage and a per extension percentage

- what tool is used to parse the comments and generate the docs?

- why not package also the functions in "extensions" files, where all the functions pertaining to one php extension are packed together in a single js file? This way it is easier to find them and download them if you just need a subset

- a list of extensions that cannot / will not be ported (eg db access, etc...)

@ Philip Peterson: Nice! :)

Okay, I've added a few functions to the SVN :)

@ Philip Peterson: Neat work man, you've made it almost too easy for me to include the functions! Awesome :)

Please contact me: kevin [ a t ] van zonneveld [ d o t ] net, so I can give you the SVN account.

Wheee, more functions!

function round ( val, precision ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Philip Peterson
    // *     example 1: round(1241757, -3);
    // *     returns 1: 1242000
    // *     example 2: round(3.6);
    // *     returns 2: 4
 
 
    var precision = (round.arguments.length > 1) ? round.arguments[1] : 0;
    return Math.round(val * Math.pow(10, precision))/Math.pow(10, precision);
}
 
function sizeof ( mixed_var, mode ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Philip Peterson
    // -    depends on: count
 
    return count( mixed_var, mode );
}

Here are my new functions by the way:

function urldecode( str ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Philip Peterson
    // -    depends on: str_replace
    // *     example 1: urlencode('Kevin+van+Zonneveld%21');
    // *     returns 1: 'Kevin van Zonneveld!'
                                     
    return unescape(str_replace("+", "%20", str));
}
function urlencode( str ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Philip Peterson
    // -    depends on: str_replace
    // *     example 1: urlencode('Kevin van Zonneveld!');
    // *     returns 1: 'Kevin+van+Zonneveld%21'
                                     
    return str_replace("%20", "+", escape(str));
}

Hey, do you think you could possibly add me an SVN account? I'm working on two new functions as of now, but I can just post them as comments if I don't meet your reqs.

Thanks,
Philip

This should prove to be very useful. Thanks for all the efforts.
