Using Thrift for PHP to C++ translations

Question

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with thrift and could provide an example of taking a PHP array (or object) and translate it into a C++ array (or object). Either that or point me to documentation on how to do this in PHP (which is incomplete on their website!)

Thanks! Matt Mueller

Hey Matt,

There's more documentation in the Thrift calculator tutorial. In particular, Thrift's "list" type is likely to be represented as an array in PHP and C++. You can see for yourself how each language binding serializes these data structures in the "protocol" implementations of each language.
