+/**
+ *  Streams.h
+ *
+ *  Just like the standard std::cout and std::cerr objects to output data, you
+ *  can use similar stream objects for outputting data to PHP. Php::out is the
+ *  C++ equivalent of the PHP echo() function, and Php::err() is the C++ stream
+ *  that behaves like calling trigger_error() from PHP.
+ *
+ *  Php::out << "this is example text" << std::endl;
+ *  Php::err << "this is an error message" << std::endl;
