What is Plumhead?
An incomplete implementation of PHP on Parrot. Plumhead is short for Plum-headed Parakeet.
Goals
Provide a side by side comparison for different implementation strategies of PHP on Parrot.
- php - the reference implementation PHP 5.2.0
- phc - XSLT munges output from phc, started
- antlr3 - ANTLR3, converted from languages/bc, started
- partridge - Parrot compiler toolchain, started
- yacc - with lex and yacc, planned
- perl5re - Perl5.10 regexes, planned
Status
36 out of 2692 tests in the PHP 5.2.0 test suite pass for the phc variant.
Dependencies
- phc
- xsltproc and phc need to be in PATH.
- antlr3
- ANTLR3 generating Java code.
- yacc
- lex and yacc, or flex and bison
- perl5re
- Perl5.10
