Calling JS function from PHP?

[cscott]

I'm using v8->executeString to evaluate some code like:

(function(exports) {
   // begin module code
   exports.hello = function() { return 'hello' };
   // end module code
   return exports;
})({})

That's a pretty standard wrapper for a CommonJS-style module definition. I get the exports object back in PHP land. I'd like to then call various (JavaScript) methods from it. But $exports->hello() gives me a V8 exception ("v8::HandleScope::CreateHandle() Cannot create a handle without a HandleScope"), and the other various ways I've tried to do this, like:

$v8->func = get_object_vars( $exports )['hello'];
$result = $v8->executeString("PHP.func()");

gives me complaints in JS land that func is "not a function" (it's a [object V8Function] apparently). What am I doing wrong?

hey, V8Js currently focuses on providing an API from PHP to JavaScript and initiate calls from JavaScript to PHP (and not the other way round). But still I agree that it would be cool if that would work as well. I'll maybe have a look soon :)

What indeed works is giving control from PHP to JavaScript (via executeString), then call from JavaScript back to PHP (which provides a HandleScope to V8Js/PHP) and then from PHP back to JavaScript (for some event callback or the like)

I think the first part of this is still open? (Calling a returned JS function directly from PHP.)

Never mind, I see that was fixed by #39.
