PHP port, all tests pass

[shabbyrobe]

You know when you see something that you don't know how you ever lived without... We do mostly PHP where I work so rather than keep living without docopt I whipped up a quick and dirty transliteration.

It passes all of the tests in the language_agnostic_parser, but it hasn't really been given much of a workout yet and there could be some issues I haven't found.

The main issue at the moment is that DocoptExit doesn't quite work in PHP like it should - SystemExit has no obvious analog in PHP so it currently requires a catch block, but I'm working on that.

Thanks again for such a fantastic library, and a very, very big thanks for the language agnostic tester.

That is very impressive! Would you like to join docopt organization here on github? https://github.com/docopt

[shabbyrobe]

That sounds great! Thanks halst. Are there any requirements? Is there anything I need to do to the PHP lib, or avoid doing with it?

[shabbyrobe]

Oh also, I forgot to mention in the initial post - how would you like me to license the work and how would you like me to attribute you?

[keleshev]

No special requirements—the fact that tests pass is good enough. We'll see if there could be any improvements.

Licence and attribution: It's 100% your work, so you can license it as you want. The idea of docopt language is unoriginal, so I have no claims :-) However, I suggest to use MIT license—same as other docopt implementations.

[shabbyrobe]

Awesome, MIT it is!

How do I add the repo to the docopt team? Should I use "Fork to docopt" from the fork dialog or is there another way?

[keleshev]

Try going to your repo's Admin-page -> Danger Zone -> Transfer Ownership and set docopt organization as the new owner. If this doesn't work—we'll try something else.

[shabbyrobe]

I got a little spooked by the severity of the dialog so tried the fork option first, but it made "forked from shabbyrobe/docopt.php" appear up the top so I killed that off, summoned some bravery and did the transfer. Needless to say, it worked perfectly. I'll have to update the http://packagist.org/ setup, which is currently still pointing to shabbyrobe/docopt.

[shabbyrobe]

Hmm, I think I might have done something wrong - I don't have write access to docopt/docopt.php any more. I've got write access to everything else, just not the PHP one.

[keleshev]

I think I fixed that, do you have write access now?

[shabbyrobe]

Yep, it's all good now. Cheers

[shabbyrobe]

Hey what should I do about the packagist repo? It's currently under shabbyrobe/docopt. Should I register docopt on there and move it to docopt/docopt?

[keleshev]

I don't know how packagist works exactly. (In case of PyPI you just upload code and it doesn't link to any repo). I guess the best is to associate the repo that you think will be most up-to-date?

I close this, further PHP-discussion is done on: https://github.com/docopt/docopt.php/issues
