RE: [PHP] calling a C program in php

I'm 99.99% sure that a php script cannot call a C function directly just by including it. When an include or require is used, the code is effectively expanded in the calling php script, so your code below would have C code running in a PHP script. The syntax is similar but it's something completely different. I'd suggest compiling and using exec or passthru functions on the C exe, or else writing a useful new function along the lines of include_c("my_c_file.c"); which would parse a C file into PHP unless someone else out there has already ? I'm not a C guru but can't imagine it would be that difficult for basic C functions. eg printf. Then again, why would one be using a function that's already in the php libraries. Maybe there's a C to PHP parser out there ... > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose Lo [mailto:jose.lo@atalho.com] > Sent: Wednesday, 16 August 2000 10:01 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] calling a C program in php > > > hello, I would like to know if there is possible about > calling a function > written in C. > something like: > > require "lib.c"; > > then call a functions in lib.c > > thanks, > Jose Lo > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: > php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
