protobuf-php(5) -- Proto files
================================

## SYNOPSIS

Protobuf for PHP supports a few custom options for proto files.


## DESCRIPTION

Proto files processed with Protobuf for PHP can use a number of custom options
that affect the generated source code.

  * `php.suffix` <string>:
    Sets a custom suffix for the generated PHP files. By default ".php" is used.

  * `php.namespace` <string>:
    Defines the namespace to use for the generated PHP classes.

  * `php.package` <string>:
    An alias for `php.namespace`

  * `php.multifile` <boolean>:
    By default a single PHP file is generated for each Proto file processed,
    including in it all the messages, enums and extensions defined in the proto
    definition. If this option is set to `true` then each message and enum is
    generated in a separate file, following PEAR's conventions, and if extensions
    are pressent in the proto definition a file named after the proto file with the
    suffix "-extensions" will contain them.

  * `php.generic_services` <boolean>:
    By default no service interfaces will be generated. If this option is set
    to true then Interfaces will be created for each `service` definition found,
    including a method named after each `rpc` entry.



## EXAMPLES ##

    option (php.suffix) = ".pb.php"
    option (php.namespace) = "MyOrg.Protos"
    option (php.multifile) = true
    option (php.generic_services) = true
