Special cases#

PSpell#

The PSpell extension is not covered by this library because the PHP documentation is misleading. The changelog currently states this:

Version

Description

8.1.0

Returns an PSpell\Dictionary instance now; previously, a resource was returned.

But if you try to use pspell_new() or pspell_config_create() in earlier PHP, you can notice that they return int, not resource. Therefore return values of these functions could never have been checked by is_resource() / get_resource_type().

Submitting a missing resource#

Note

Please keep in mind that the minimum supported version is PHP 5.3 so short array syntax and ::class constants are not available!

The main data file is data/object_maps.php. It has the following structure:

<?php

return array(
    // Top level keys: PHP version where the change was made in the PHP_VERSION_ID form
    70200 => array(
        // Second level keys: extension names as used in extension_loaded() for example
        'hash' => array(
            // Third level:
            // key is a class name after the change
            // value is a resource string before the change
            'HashContext' => 'Hash Context'
        ),
    ),
);

After you added or fixed the data file, run the generator:

php sbin/build_resource_map_class.php

This will update the generated data classes in the gen/ directory.
