nicolasrod / php2python Goto Github PK

I am getting a result [*] Done! but I have no idea where the converted .py file is saved? I dropped the PHP file I want to convert into the same directory.

Could you provide a better readme file? Currently the readme file instructions are not relatable as they refer to a non-existent Wordpress folder.

Take into account variables by reference. The following code:

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

function test(int &$num) {
    $num = 23;
}

$v = 44;
test($v);
echo $v;

Should be translated into:

def test(num_):
   test.num_ = num_
   test.num_ = 23

v = 44
test(v)
v = test.num_
print(v)

Convert any assignment to an assignment and a statement. For example:

$a = 1;
if ($a++ > 1) {
   echo 'a is greater than 1';
}

Turns into:

a = 1
if a > 1:
  a += 1

Some expressions are already translated. It is needed to evaluate every potential place where Python is expecting an expression and if an assignment is found, deal with it.

Hi,
Can you please tell me if this tool is appropriate for converting OO PHP to the equivalent OO Python?

Part of this is for learning the similarities between the languages and also as a head start for evaluating a cut-over to Python.

The PHP files (scripts) run in both Windows and Linux and have nothing to do with web dev. There is a lot of XML translation going in the code.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Rob
