Adding new Zend API functions to the allowed_bindings and/or FFI

[dragoonis]

Hey

I'm trying to call this zend function from the ext-php-rs: zend_string_starts_with

https://heap.space/xref/PHP-8.4/Zend/zend_string.h?r=db545767e57d74e7ec0e1817a208d0d44e0932e6&fi=zend_string_starts_with#408

I'm trying to do this

use ext_php_rs::ffi::{
    zend_string_starts_with
};

However, I'm getting this

11 |     zend_string_starts_with
   |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no `zend_string_starts_with` in `ffi`

I believe this is because it's not inside allowed_bindings.rs

Surely there is a way I can add the allowed bindings, to bring across.

Please advise how I can make zend_string_starts_with available to my rust PHP extension code.

Thanks in advance.

Currently there is no way of doing that except having your own modified version of this project, but Ill look into this.

May I ask why you can't just use https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html#method.starts_with?

@dragoonis I have created a way to define additional allowed bindings.

The function zend_string_starts_with dosn't work even when including it in allowed bindings though.
Sure you've got it right? Your link does not work. Can you provide a link to the php-src github.
