THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I AM VERY SERIOUSLY RELEASING PHUBY.
Phuby embeds a PHP runtime inside a Ruby runtime. This gem will let
rails scale by allowing you to run PHP applications inside your rails
applications.
To see it in action, check out these youtube videos:

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO NEVER EVER EVER INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE. Not only is
it difficult to install, but your computer might implode from the sheer
awesomeness of being able to use PHP inside your ruby applications.
Just think how awesome an embedded PHP interpreter would be. I know
most of you (like me) are coding Ruby day in and day out thinking "if
only I were programming in PHP, this would be much easier". Well, (*if*
you're brave enough) now you can!
Anyway. You can check out the codes here:

Below is the README with installation instructions. Remember that these
instructions are not for the faint of heart. I forgot to add this to
the README, but the last step is sacrificing one chicken.

## DESCRIPTION:
Phuby wraps PHP in a loving embrace. Exposes a PHP runtime in ruby
## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* many
## SYNOPSIS:
rt = Phuby::Runtime.new
rt.start
rt.eval('$hello = "world"')
assert_equal "world", rt['hello']
rt.stop
## REQUIREMENTS:
* php
## BUILD INSTRUCTIONS:
* Download php-5.3.0
The following instructions apply to OS X (probably not needed on linux):
DO NOT change the prefix... No, I don't know why yet.
### Install iconv with macports
$ sudo port install iconv
### Install MySQL with macports
$ sudo port install mysql5 mysql5-server
Set some symbolic links:
$ cd /opt/local
$ sudo ln -s mysql5/mysql include/mysql
$ sudo ln -s mysql5/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib lib/libmysqlclient.dylib
### Patch and configure php
If you're on OS X, apply php.patch to the downloaded php. Then configure
php with the proper flags. These paths are for OS X, but you should be able
to adjust them for linux:
$ patch -p0 < ../path/to/php.patch
$ ./configure --enable-debug \
--enable-embed \
--disable-cli \
--with-mysql=/opt/local \
--with-mysqli=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_config \
--with-mysql-sock=/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock \
--prefix=/usr/local
$ make && sudo make install
Then, either install the gem, or rake test
## INSTALL:
* No.
