I remember watching a talk where @back2dos was using haxe to compile PHP projects ( and his clients didn’t care, because the output was PHP and he made less errors, etc ). Would be interested in a small sample repo showing a minimum setup for this - would be a nice starting point for new projects 🙂

Also this [Haxe and JavaScript gitbook](https://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxejs/) is definitely worth highlighting for beginners who are looking to get their hands dirty with haxe + html5. The git repo [is super-structured](https://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxejs/).

There was not much to it. I used FlashDevelop to create a new PHP project (but there’s really not much in there except `-cp src -php bin`) with `haxe.web.Dispatch` for routing, `haxe.Template` for templating and SPOD for persistence. I did add `tink_lang` to the mix because I’m a terseness fetishist, but that has largely superficial effects. Soon I did replace haxe.Template by `tink_template` so I would have type safety throughout all the code (and also a richer template language). All in all, it was pretty unspectacular 😉

There’s actually a lot to that - it’s simple, not easy 🙂 For me it’s a great point from your talk and would illustrate easily how to switch from a typeless php to a typed haxe style. How about a [github.com/back2dos/haxe-php-starter-template](http://github.com/back2dos/haxe-php-starter-template) ? 😛

it’s giving 404 🙂

I have made some websites with haxe.Template, web.Dispatch and Spod (now called record-macros). I can made a simple blog system for php and neko when I have time this week.

I am the one who create the php haxe documentation mentioned in the question asked by @socialflasher
I wrote it during the time I was learning about PHP and Haxe. It should cover most issues you will have when starting with PHP target.
And it also has examples about :
- `web.Dispatcher`: [How to · GitBook](http://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxephp/04webapi/example.html)
- `SPOD` (not updated) : [How to · GitBook](http://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxephp/11mysql/example.html)
- templating: [How to · GitBook](http://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxephp/03webapi/example.html)
So perhaps we should update the git repo …

btw I also wrote about Haxe and JavaScript ([Introduction · GitBook](http://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxejs/)) as mentioned by @mastef
And Haxe and Node.js ([Introduction · GitBook](http://matthijskamstra.github.io/haxenode/))
Those are the targets I use the most, and the documentation is also written during my time I started to learn about Haxe JavaScript and Node.js
My goal was to extend the Haxe Manual with practical examples.
Currently I try to get at least the documentation of javascript mentioned in the Manual: [added "Community driven JavaScript documentation" to the manual by MatthijsKamstra · Pull Request #308 · HaxeFoundation/HaxeManual · GitHub](https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/HaxeManual/pull/308)
So follow the link and 👍 might help to show you really need this.

btw I have update most of the PHP documentation but didn’t test every example.
I didn’t get any errors, so it’s Haxe right… It should work!

Writing medium articles about Haxe is good for marketing…
