# alef-backend-php
PHP (ext-php-rs) backend for alef
Generates Rust source code using ext-php-rs to expose a Rust library as a PHP 8.2+ extension. Produces `#[php_class]` structs with `#[php_impl]` method blocks, `#[php_function]` free functions, and serde-based conversion bridges. Async operations are handled via Tokio `block_on` to integrate with PHP's synchronous execution model. Supports `readonly-class` and `array` DTO generation styles and generates Composer package scaffolding.
Part of the [alef](https://github.com/kreuzberg-dev/alef) polyglot binding generator.
