Any real examples of how to use this with PHP?

I'm excited about this library, just installed it but I can't see any way to use this with PHP for example.

Can you provide examples to predict outputs for Java and PHP?

Thanks,

Using the lib for any platform is pretty much the same. You just import the one you want and the functions you need, then call from_outputs to get a generator yielding the future outputs. For example, suppose you had some outputs from the java function nextInt, you could predict the next values like:

from foresight.java import nextInt
previous_outputs = []

# put code here to add prior outputs to 'previous_outputs'
# ....

for future_output in nextInt.from_outputs(previous_outputs):
    print(future_output)   

A similar approach will work with PHP. Just use from foresight.php import rand. You will also need to specify a 'platform' in the php from_outputs call, because the RNGs are different on windows vs linux. So:

from foresight.php import rand
previous_outputs = []

# put code here to add prior outputs to 'previous_outputs'
# ....

for future_output in rand.from_outputs(previous_outputs, platform="windows"):
    print(future_output)
