Re: Feature Request: Vector math functions

I just did a search at google for c callable matrix functions and so far have come up with this: This looks nice but I haven't read the details on liscencing: http://www.vni.com/products/imsl/imslc.html This looks ok but there is no online documentation: http://flamingo.snu.ac.kr/~rmatrix/ I noticed that this book is online. Not really relevant but it is cool. Might be a useful resource for the implementer of a PHP scientific computing library. http://www.ulib.org/webRoot/Books/Numerical_Recipes/bookcpdf.html I can do more legwork on this. I just wanted to show you a few URLs and see if I am on the right track here. Does the library have to be gnu open source?

If so, writing a PHP wrapper for it is almost trivial.
