[Quickfix-developers] PHP Interface?

[Marc H. <mj...@ho...>]

Has anyone been successful at interfacing Quickfix with PHP?   A few 
people have asked about this in the past but there weren't any follow ups.

Running the latest SWIG against quickfix.i to create a PHP wrapper shows 
syntax errors on the python-related sections.  Removing those sections 
(since I'm only generating a PHP wrapper) results in SWIG showing 
warnings but at least it completes.  Compiling the resulting 
quickfix_wrap.cpp file fails, with a lot of "invalid cast type" errors - 
which are probably related to the earlier swig warnings.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!
