How can I use PHP with C++?

[chantown]

For example.

 

In my index.php, I have a simple text box. I put in a word, and click Submit.

 

I want to have my C++ script analyze this word, and do some calculations.

Then, I want to pass this back to my PHP, and spit out the length, etc. to the audience.

 

The question is: How can I use both PHP and C++ to do things??

 

Thank you!

i can think of 3 options, create a C++ App and pass the file to it, or re-complie php with a C++ class wrapping a class into PHP itself, finally create a COM

use php-cgi.exe which is what most custom webbrowsers use I believe they just paste the php file into the php-cgi as a argument and it returns a rendered result
