Since version 4.3, PHP can be used for command-line scripts, not just
for making web pages. I write most of my command-line scripts in PHP,
so I don't have to learn yet another language.

Hook scripts can of course be written in PHP. Here's an example pre-
commit hook which checks that the log message is not empty:

#!/opt/local/bin/php
<?php

// Absolute paths to out helper programs.
define('SVNLOOK', '/opt/local/bin/svnlook');

// Get the command line arguments.
list(, $repo_path, $txn_name) = $_SERVER['argv'];

// Get the log message of the transaction.
$cmd = escapeshellarg(SVNLOOK)
        . ' log'
        . ' -t ' . escapeshellarg($txn_name)
        . ' ' . escapeshellarg($repo_path);
$output = array();
exec($cmd, $output, $error);
$log_message = trim(join("\n", $output));

if ($error) {
        fwrite(STDERR, "Error $error occurred trying to run svnlook.");
        exit($error);
} else if (empty($log_message)) {
        fwrite(STDERR, "Your log message was empty.");
        exit(1);
} else {
        // Allow the commit.
        exit(0);
}
