Protocol Buffer for PHP

[kordi]

The last two evenings (after work) i implemented a protocol buffer for
php, where all message encoding, decoding + parsing of the proto files
is written in php.

At the moment i only implemented the datatypes string, message, enum +
unsigned int.

Cool!  I've already updated the OtherLanguages wiki:

Any reason why you chose to re-implement the parser, rather than use the existing parser?  protoc can easily be extended to support other languages.

http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/reference/cpp/google.protobuf.compiler.command_line_interface.html

By reusing the existing parser, you can avoid parsing bugs and you won't have to update your parser every time we change the main one.  You would have to write your CodeGenerator in C++, but it's just a bunch of print statements so it shouldn't be too hard.
