peb (PHP-Erlang Bridge) is an open-source PHP extension to run PHP as an Erlang cnode.
It's similar to the traditional php mysql function , you can easily communicate with an Erlang node.
The following is an example:
```
$link = peb_connect('sadly-desktop@sadly-desktop', 'secret');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . peb_error());
}
$msg = peb_vencode('[~p,~a]', array(
array($link,'getinfo')
)
);
//The sender must include a reply address. use ~p to format a link identifier to a valid Erlang pid.
pebsendbyname('pong',$msg,$link);
$message = peb_receive($link);
$rs= peb_vdecode( $message) ;
print_r($rs);
$serverpid = $rs[0][0];
$message = peb_vencode('[~s]', array(
array('how are you')
)
);
pebsendbypid($serverpid,$message,$link);
//just demo for how to use pebsendbypid
peb_close($link);
?>
```
