NAME

Perinci::Sub::Wrapper::Patch::HandlePHPArray - Convert {} to [] or vice versa to match functions' expectations

VERSION

version 0.01

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).
