gulp-phpipe

gulp-phpipe simply runs files through the PHP processor. This can be used to generate static HTML from PHP code or to do simple PHP templating. This uses your systems PHP binary and if you don't have one, this will not work. Since this is a gulp plugin and gulp works with transient file streams, the (quite possibly virtual) file contents are piped to the PHP process which has some implications:

• __FILE__ is set to - in the executed code. This does not hold for files included from the root file; see below
• dirname(__FILE__) will return . which stems from the file path being -
• __DIR__ is set to the PHP process working directory which is set to the processed Vinyl file's base path overwritten explicitly; see options

Usage

Basic Example

source.php

<h1>Test</h1>
<div><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></div>

Gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rename = require('gulp-rename'),
    phpipe = require('gulp-phpipe');

gulp.task('default', function () {
    gulp.src('*.php')
        .pipe(phpipe())
        .pipe(rename(function (path) {
            path.extname = ".html";
            return path;
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('compiled'));
});

This results in compiled/source.html

<h1>Test</h1>
<div>Hello World</div>

Working With Includes

templates/base.php

<h1>Test</h1>
<?php include(__DIR__ . 'inner.php'); ?>

templates/inner.php

<h2>This is included from <?php echo __FILE__; ?></h2>

Gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    rename = require('gulp-rename'),
    phpipe = require('gulp-phpipe');

gulp.task('default', function () {
    gulp.src('templates/*.php')
        .pipe(phpipe())
        // If the glob used to gather the PHP files were "**/*.php", then the include would not
        // work unless the working directory was overwritten like this:
        //
        //.pipe(phpipe({
        //    cwd: 'templates',
        //}))
        .pipe(rename(function (path) {
            path.extname = ".html";
            return path;
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('compiled'));
});

This results in `compiled/base.html

<h1>Test</h1>
<h2>This is included from /path/to/current/gulp/dir/templates/inner.php</h2>

Options

You can pass options to gulp-phpipe(options)

• phpBin: string - full path of the PHP binary you wish to use; this defaults to php which assumes that PHP is in your PATH
• phpArgs: string[] - array of additional arguments for the PHP process; defaults to[]
• cwd: string - the working directory of the PHP process; defaults to the base directory of the processed file
• env: object - overrides all current environment variables and runs PHP with only the environment variables set in this object; defaults to null
