In this chapter, we present the client-side Slice-to-PHP mapping. One part of the client-side PHP mapping concerns itself with rules for representing each Slice data type as a corresponding PHP type; we cover these rules in
Section 28.3 to
Section 28.10. Another part of the mapping deals with how clients can invoke operations, pass and receive parameters, and handle exceptions. These topics are covered in
Section 28.11 to
Section 28.13. Slice classes have the characteristics of both data types and interfaces and are covered in
Section 28.14. Code generation issues are discussed in
Section 28.15 and PHP-specific features in
Section 28.16. Finally,
Section 28.17 addresses the use of Slice checksums.
