A couple of years ago there were a few messages on this list about a potential PHP Hot Rod client.  I haven't seen any further discussion of it, but I find myself in the same situation described before: I want to have a Drupal installation write cache data to Infinispan, and I'd prefer if it could do it via the Hot Rod protocol rather than the memcached protocol.

I haven't seen any further evidence of the existence of a Hot Rod client native to PHP out on the open web, so I wrote a small wrapper around the Hot Rod C++ client which works for my purposes so far.  The code is at https://github.com/bertrama/php-hotrod

I wanted to send a note to the list to ask a couple questions:

Would anyone else be interested in this php extension?

Are there client-oriented benchmarks I should run?  I looked around for some, but didn't find any. Specifically, I want to compare performance of this PHP Hot Rod client to the PHP memcached client when talking to the same Infinispan server.

Thanks!
