If you wrote something like this in PHP you'd necessarily be searching for patterns in the code. In C you'd be working with tokens directly - coding style wouldn't be an issue.
Isnt that what we have ext/tokenizer for? Wouldn't that be relatively slow?
Also there's the psychological difference between being presented with a binary and being presented with a script (but then again I suppose you could argue that there's nothing to prevent the embed SAPI coming into play)... - Steph
