And that will take a while? :)

Ok, so

%module example
%include "std_string.i"
%include "cpointer.i"
%pointer_functions(std::string, std::stringp)

void test( std::string& in );


and in php

$in = new std__stringp();
test( $in );

?

Or can char* be used as an INOUT variable? How would memory allocation 
and such be solved that way?
