##Note - Work in progress
This is a fork of https://github.com/dhotson/bert-php
I made it composer compatible and eleminated the fdopen dependency.

BERT

A BERT (Binary ERlang Term) serialization library for PHP based on Tom Preston-Werner's Ruby implementation.

It can encode PHP objects into BERT format and decode BERT binaries into PHP objects.

See the BERT specification at bert-rpc.org.

To designate an atom, use the Bert::a() helper or the Bert_Atom class. To designate tuples, use the Bert::t() helper or the Bert_Tuple class:

Bert::t(Bert::a('foo'), array(1, 2, 3))
new Bert_Tuple(array(new Bert_Atom('foo'), array(1, 2, 3)))

These will both be converted to (in Erlang syntax):

{foo, [1, 2, 3]}

Usage

require_once 'classes/Bert.php'

$bert = Bert::encode(
  Bert::t(
    Bert::a('user'),
    array('name' => 'TPW', 'nick' => 'mojombo')
  )
);
# => string(82) "#hduserhdbertddictllmnamemTPWjlmnickmmojombojj"

Bert::decode($bert);
# => Bert_Tuple (
       Bert_Atom ( 'user' ),
       Array (
         'name' => 'TPW',
         'nick' => 'mojombo'
       )
     )
