# Autodia::Handler::PHP(3pm)

AutoDia handler for PHP

## NAME

Autodia::Handler::PHP - AutoDia handler for PHP

## INTRODUCTION

Autodia::Handler::PHP is registered in the Autodia.pm module, which contains a hash of language names and the name of their respective language - in this case:

`%language_handlers` = ( .. ,\
 		       php =\> "Autodia::Handler::PHP",\
 		       .. );

`%patterns` = ( .. ,\
 	      php =\> \\%php,\
               .. );

my `%php` = (\
              regex      =\> '\\w+\\.php$',\
              wildcards =\> \[\
                         "php","php3","php4"\
                            \],\
                         );

## CONSTRUCTION METHOD

use Autodia::Handler::PHP;

my `$handler` = Autodia::Handler::PHP-\>New(\\%Config);

This creates a new handler using the Configuration hash to provide rules selected at the command line.

## ACCESS METHODS

`$handler`-\>Parse(filename); # where filename includes full or relative path.

This parses the named file and returns 1 if successful or 0 if the file could not be opened.

`$handler`-\>**output()**; # any arguments are ignored.

This outputs the output file according to the rules in the `%Config` hash passed at initialisation of the object and the template.
