Re: Merging C++ code or export DLL files in php application

I would suggest writing a command-line interface to your C++ code, then evoke it with either 'system' or 'exec'. If you really want to be lazy, you can check out the w32api extension: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.w32api.php You can use it to directly access Microsoft DLLs, register functions, and call them... its an experimental extension tho, so stability is unknown, but it works on my box ;) Here's a sample that ships with the source code to get the uptime, and open a MFC dialog box to display it: <?php define("MB_OK", 0); dl("php_w32api.dll"); w32api_register_function("kernel32.dll",

      "GetTickCount", "long");

w32api_register_function("User32.dll",

      "MessageBoxA", "long");

$ticks = GetTickCount(); $secs = floor($ticks / 1000); $mins = floor($secs / 60); $hours = floor($mins / 60); $str = sprintf("You have been using your computer for:".

      "\r\n %d Milliseconds, or \r\n %d Seconds".
      "or \r\n %d mins or\r\n %d hours %d mins.",
      $ticks, $secs, $mins, $hours, $mins - ($hours*60));
