Hello @web-apply,

Don't use php-vips-ext directly! You need php-vips:

https://github.com/libvips/php-vips

It has a stable, documented and supported API.

We are removing php-vips-ext soon. If you use it directly, all your code will vanish, like tears in the rain.

@jcupitt Well https://github.com/libvips/php-vips library
Doesn't it work based on https://github.com/libvips/php-vips-ext plugin? How will php-vips work when php-vips-ext is removed?

I want to use pecl vips command functions directly. I'm doing photo conversions with simple php vips. The php-vips class contains a lot of code and I need lightweight code.

https://github.com/libvips/php-vips/blob/a5fcbd7d6f5fde27d749fb2bdf59749e31d42910/src/Image.php
.....******
public static function newFromFile(
string $filename,
array $options = []
): Image {
Utils::debugLog('newFromFile', [
'instance' => null,
'arguments' => [$filename, $options]
]);
$options = self::unwrap($options);
$result = vips_image_new_from_file($filename, $options);
self::errorIsArray($result);
$result = self::wrapResult($result);
Utils::debugLog('newFromFile', ['result' => $result]);
return $result; }
........

php-vips using vips function commands list.

We're switching to the new PHP FFI module. php-vips will use that to call into libvips directly, with no need for a binary module like php-vips-ext. It should make maintenance and deployment much simpler.

The branch is here if you're curious:

https://github.com/libvips/php-vips/tree/switch-to-php-ffi

It's almost done, just one segv left to fix.

php-vips isn't so heavy, is it? It's only a few thousand lines of code. The core of the new FFI version is under 1,000 lines for the whole of libvips.
