NAME
Perinci::Sub::Wrapper::Patch::HandlePHPArray - Convert {} to [] or vice
versa to match functions' expectations
VERSION
This document describes version 0.04 of
Perinci::Sub::Wrapper::Patch::HandlePHPArray (from Perl distribution
Perinci-Sub-Wrapper-Patch-HandlePHPArray), released on 2017-07-10.
SYNOPSIS
use Perinci::Sub::Wrapper::HandlePHPArray;
DESCRIPTION
This module patches Perinci::Sub::Wrapper so the generated function
wrapper code can convert argument "{}" to "[]" when function expects
argument to be an array, or vice versa "[]" to "{}" when function
expects a hash argument. This can help if function is being called by
PHP clients, because in PHP "Array()" is ambiguous, it can be an empty
hash or an empty array.
To make this work, you have to specify schema in your argument
specification in your Rinci metadata, and the type must be hash or
array.
This is a temporary/stop-gap solution. The more "official" solution is
to use Perinci::Access::HTTP::Server which has the
"deconfuse_php_clients" option (by default turned on).
