22# Using Thrift with PHP
23
24Thrift requires PHP 5. Thrift makes as few assumptions about your PHP
25environment as possible while trying to make some more advanced PHP
26features (i.e. APCu cacheing using asbolute path URLs) as simple as possible.
27
28To use Thrift in your PHP codebase, take the following steps:
29
301. Copy all of thrift/lib/php/lib into your PHP codebase
312. Configure Symfony Autoloader (or whatever you usually use)
32
33After that, you have to manually include the Thrift package
34created by the compiler:
35
36```
37require_once 'packages/Service/Service.php';
38require_once 'packages/Service/Types.php';
39```

41# Dependencies
42
43PHP_INT_SIZE
44
45    This built-in signals whether your architecture is 32 or 64 bit and is
46    used by the TBinaryProtocol to properly use pack() and unpack() to
47    serialize data.
48
49apcu_fetch(), apcu_store()
50
51    APCu cache is used by the TSocketPool class. If you do not have APCu installed,
52    Thrift will fill in null stub function definitions.

54# Breaking Changes
55
56## 0.12.0
57
581. [PSR-4](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/) loader is now the default. If you want to use class maps instead, use `-gen php:classmap`.
59
602. If using PSR-4, use `$thriftClassLoader->registerNamespace('namespace', '<path>')` instead of `$thriftClassLoader->registerDefinition('namespace', '<path>')`.
