Native matrix library
---------------------

[](#native-matrix-library)

For a long time, PHP developers dreamed of being able to overload operators. And now, finally, this moment has come. Thanks to the PHP7.4 and the [lisachenko/z-engine](https://github.com/lisachenko/z-engine) package, we can overload the operators of comparison, addition, multiplication, casting and much more!

This library is first ever userland PHP extension, that implements operator overloading for the `Matrix` class.

Pre-requisites and initialization
---------------------------------

[](#pre-requisites-and-initialization)

As this library depends on `FFI`, it requires PHP>=7.4 and `FFI` extension to be enabled. Also, current limitations of [lisachenko/z-engine](https://github.com/lisachenko/z-engine) are also applied (x64, NTS)

To install this library, simply add it via `composer`:

```
composer require lisachenko/native-php-matrix
```

Now you can test it with following example:
