Use as xcopy-deployable folders?

Hey @UweKeim

msgpack-php is a module, so it will have to be compiled. If you know the target environment you could include the msgpack.so and you only have to compile it once per environment.

Could you include msgpack-php is a submodule, and then compile it on the target host? You will need the PHP headers + a C compiler, but that means you at least will not need root access (to install it) you can then just have your PHP script include the module.

There are a bunch of ways to solve this problem, but the short answer is no. If you are doing a wide release and don't know all the target environments there is not going to be a way to do this without having the end user compile/install the module.

Thanks a lot, @Sean-Der — that's what I feared to hear 😉

Maybe someone someday will implement a pure-PHP solution, without any dependencies, even if it is a bit slower than the current C implementation.

(Just like e.g. this pure-PHP ZIP implementation)

Thanks again for your fast reply.

@UweKeim There is already a number of pure php implementations available (I also created one by myself, but didn't opensource it yet).

[UweKeim]

Awesome! Thanks a log, @rybakit!

@UweKeim If you still have interest in a pure php library, take a look at msgpack.php which I've just released.

Thank you very much, @rybakit
