PHP binding for pHash library

This is a standalone PHP extension created using CodeGen_PECL 1.1.3

Modifying source code

You can add custom code to the CodeGen_PECL XML source pHash.xml and then rebuild extension as it shown below.

Building on UNIX etc.

To compile your new extension, you will have to execute the following steps:

$ pear install CodeGen_PECL		# Once before first extension compiling
$ ./compile.sh

Building on Windows

The extension provides the VisualStudio V6 project file pHash.dsp

To compile the extension you open this file using VisualStudio, select the apropriate configuration for your installation (either "Release_TS" or "Debug_TS") and create "php_pHash.dll"

After successfull compilation you have to copy the newly created "pHash.dll" to the PHP extension directory (default: C:\PHP\extensions).

Testing

You can now load the extension using a php.ini directive

extension="pHash.[so|dll]"

or load it at runtime using the dl() function

dl("pHash.[so|dll]");

The extension should now be available, you can test this using the extension_loaded() function:

if (extension_loaded("pHash"))
	echo "pHash loaded :)";
else
	echo "something is wrong :(";

The extension will also add its own block to the output of phpinfo().

Differences with original version

1. Added function ph_mh_imagehash for calculating Marr-Hildreth wavelet based image hash:

    resource ph_mh_imagehash(string file, float alpha=2.0, float level=1.0)
   

2. Added functions ph_dct_imagehash_to_array and ph_mh_imagehash_to_array for exporting DCT and Marr-Hildreth pHash from internal resource representation into bytes array:

    array ph_dct_imagehash_to_array(resource h)
    array ph_mh_imagehash_to_array(resource h)
   

3. Build script compile.sh for easy extension building and making it compatible with PHP 5.3/5.4.
