Now it can compile successfully with PHP 5.4.x

[nickl-]

@ym Tx for the work well done!!!

It works as advertised build succeeds against php 5.4.10 also works for 5.5.0alpha1 and still builds against php 5.3.20.

One snag though, tests are failing =(

I am keen to get this committed and see it as a giant leap in the right direction unfortunately the tests would also have to succeed, am I right?

I will see what I can do in the meantime but lets get this sorted quick and check this off the todo list.

@ym Keep up the good work!

[jparise]

I'd definitely be interested in knowing why those tests are failing under PHP 5.4 before I merge this.

[nickl-]

I haven't had all that much time to dig into this, but from what I can tell the changes applied seem to be the correct hammer for the nail. Pending further investigation...

[arm4b]

Thanks for patch, now it's at least compiled for 5.4.
Under PHP 5.4 as mentioned before it's unstable. Objects and arrays doesnt't work:

[root@tests]# php /tests/convert_to_php.php
NULL
int(1)
int(1)
float(1.5)
string(6) "string"
string(6) "string"
string(6) "string"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It would be really great to have php-python working on PHP 5.4+.

@armab please provide more details of your stack ie. versions of os, python, etc. and providing the snippets you are testing with will also help.
