One of the biggest roadblocks to writing code which accesses the Windows API is the fact that so many functions require you to provide data formatted in specific format. This format is defined on MSDN as a C struct, which has no direct representation in PHP. The best you can hope for is to figure out the layout of the structure, and then set up some PACK/UNPACK calls to convert the data to and from something more useful in PHP.
Enter cStruct, a collection of objects that helps provide support for C-like structures. All common data types have been implemented. This will save lots of time as you don’t have to remember or figure out how many bytes each datatype takes up and how to convert it to and from binary data.

The bugs in bcompiler seem to have been worked out since phc-win 0.3.0. Unlike 0.3.0, this release has the standard PHP DLLs (for PHP 5.3.1) and separate Winbinder, win32std and bcompiler DLLs. I’m hoping to be able to get a smaller DLL with all of the required extensions going, but for now this is better than the buggy bcompiler version.

Note to XP users:
You may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) for EXEs to run correctly.
Note to Windows 2000, 9x Users
Due to a change in 5.3.x series of PHP, phc-win does not work on Windows 2000 or 9x machines. There are no plans to compile a 5.2.x series binary for phc-win. If you cannot upgrade your OS, I recommend using phc-win 0.2.1 which uses PHP 5.0.5.
Check the phc-win category for the latest version.
It’s been quite a while since phc-win was updated due to the difficulty of getting all of the extensions compiled and running with each new version of PHP. Finally I got WinBinder compiled with PHP 5.3.1, and Alec Gorge helped out and compiled some lightweight DLL files to use with phc-win.
The good:
* PHP 5.3.1 compatible
* Program EXEs need only 1 DLL file and no other files to run correctly (if using one of the Alec Gorge compiled DLLs)
* Included DLL is only 2.44 megs
The bad:
* it seems bcompiler has changed since the last update of phc-win. Unfortunately it has introduced an error which causes programs to crash if your PHP code uses constants as default function parameter values. IE function foo ($bar = CONSTANT_VALUE) will cause the a program crash. Other problems may also exist with bcompiler. Because of this I may need to make the bcompilation stage optional.
UPDATE: Bug reports have been submitted to the bcompiler team and they are working on it, so hopefully there will be a resolution to this issue. Update 2: phc-win 0.3.1 is packaged with updated bcompiler dlls.
This version of phc-win has no actual functionality changes from 0.2.1 besides minor tweaks to get things working with php5.3 and working around the bcompiler issues.

The wiki at SwiftlyTilting.com has received a face lift. I’ve also added documentation for all of my MediaWiki extensions, and there is a new sandbox area for users to try out Winter and my other extensions as well.
This update adds full template support as well as the ability to add sidebars based on user group and namespace.

Some of the most powerful utility scripts which are included with Mediawiki can only be run via the command line, usually through a terminal shell. Unfortunately, many ISPs don’t allow terminal shell access, making life hard on MediaWiki admins.
I’ve written an extension for MediaWiki which tricks these maintenance scripts into thinking they are being run via the command line. A form on a special page provides access from the wiki.

I had the need for custom sidebars definable on a per-page basis in MediaWiki, and I didn’t like the current options out there. Luckily MediaWiki 1.14.0 adds a new hook right after the sidebar is generated, making it easy to replace its contents. You can either pull contents from another page or define the menu items on the page itself.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated Winter, but recently I discovered how to access content from other pages so perhaps we’ll see some new features. For now, I’ve added #include and #include_raw. #include will include the text from another page and run it through the Winter engine. #include_raw is not run through the Winter engine before being dumped into the page. Wikitext markup is not interpreted during this stage.. if you need the content to be formatted, you should use the #include command within a <winterprewiki> block. I also fixed a few bugs.

One thing that has been bugging me about Winter is that code must be left aligned or else MediaWiki will format it with some HTML. This made it impossible to write neat code, especially in longer programs. I finally hit upon a decent workaround and now program code is much more readable.
Before:
{{#function | formatNum ||
{{#if | {{#1}} | {{#1}} | no more }} bottle{{#if | {{#1 == 1}} | | s }}
}}
{{#for | {{#i = 99}} || {{#i >= 0}} || {{#i --}} ||
{{#bottles | @= | {{#formatNum | {{#i}} }} }}
{{#ucfirst | {{#bottles}} }} of beer on the wall, {{#bottles}} of beer.
{{#if | {{#i}} |
Take one down and pass it around, {{#formatNum| {{#i - 1}} }} |
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles
}} of beer on the wall
}}
After
{{#function | formatNum ||
{{#if | {{#1}} || {{#1}} || no more }} bottle{{#if | {{#1 == 1}} || || s}}
}}
{{#for | {{#i @= 99}} || {{#i >= 0}} || {{#i --}} ||
{{#bottles | @= | {{#formatNum | {{#i}} }} }}
{{#ucfirst | {{#bottles}} }} of beer on the wall, {{#bottles}} of beer.
{{#if | {{#i}} ||
Take one down and pass it around, {{#formatNum| {{#i - 1}} }}
||
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles
}} of beer on the wall.

I’ve also added features to access the various template parameter variables used on a page, as well as various other upgrades and bug fixes.

It’s been over a year since I last released an update for Winter. Since then MediaWiki introduced support for parser function extensions, which provide some of the same basic functionality as Winter. Winter code does not interfere with parser functions, and they can be used on the same page, though care must be taken when combining both types of code together.
This new version of Winter has been in the works for a few months now. Many new features and functions have been added, and some bugs have been corrected as well. The program code has increased in size by nearly 80% since 1.5.0!

As expected, there were some bugs with the first release of phc-win. The biggest problem occured whenever the path of the program file or any code contained a space: it simply wouldn’t compile the code. That has been fixed in this version. Some other minor bug fixes as well. PHC-WIN is compatible with PHP 5.0.5

PHC-WIN is a windows application that allows one to create EXEs from PHP code. The PHP code is first converted to PHP bytecode using bcompiler, and then embedded into an EXE using embeder. Compiling the code into bytecode has two benefits: it speeds up load times since the PHP code doesn’t have to be interpreted, and it obfuscates the code so that it cannot be easily reverse engineered.
PHC-WIN itself is written in PHP and utilizes wbObjects, my object oriented layer for WinBinder to create windows controls.

wbObjects is an object oriented interface for WinBinder, a native Windows API for PHP. WinBinder is a great tool, but unfortunately its current lack of an object oriented interface makes writing applications harder than it needs to be. wbObjects has been created to simply the coding process so WinBinder applications can be developed more rapidly.

* Added new shortcut syntax: {{#command param1 param2 … paramN}} is the same as {{#command| #param1 | #param2 | … | paramN }}. Each span of whitespace is converted to a pipe character. This is especially useful for math operations: {{#op 1 + 1}} = {{#op| 1 | +| 1}}
* #op can now accept any amount of operations. However, the order of operations is only left to right. ie {{#op 2 - 2 * 3}} will return 0 and not -4.
* Added #formula command
* Added #eval command
* Added #repeat command
