The Ice framework provides everything you need to build networked applications, including RPC, pub/sub, server deployment, and more.

Ice for PHP is the PHP implementation of the Ice framework. As of this version, it supports only clients: you need to implement the server portion of your application in another programming language such as C++, C# or Java.

// Slice definitions (Greeter.ice) module VisitorCenter { /// Represents a simple greeter. interface Greeter { /// Creates a personalized greeting. /// @param name The name of the person to greet. /// @return The greeting. string greet(string name); } }

<?php // Client application (Client.php) require_once 'Ice.php'; require_once 'Greeter.php'; $communicator = Ice\initialize(); $greeter = VisitorCenter\GreeterPrxHelper::createProxy($communicator, 'greeter:tcp -h hello.zeroc.com -p 4061'); $greeting = $greeter->greet(get_current_user()); echo "$greeting\n"; ?>
