I'm sure you could compile it into PHP somehow, if you wanted to go that route. I can't help you there, though. Or, you could just compile your C function into a stand-alone program and call it through exec(), passing the parameters it needs and then retrieving the output. Why not just "port" the C code over to PHP?? ---John Holmes...
