How to create dll file and perform different operations

[zohab]

Hi,

 

I am a php developer and In my new project I have DLL files.

 

These files add/edit/delete records from my database.

 

I want to do some customizations.

 

I have gone through articles on Google.

 

Now

 

I am looking for any solution to create dll and perform different operations

example :add/edit/delete records in database.

 

I am new in this .

You may have some success with COM, but being as DLLs are *Windows* library files it may be a bit tricky.

Unless you can somehow get a COM object to work as MrAdam suggested, you're probably out of luck.

 

 

DLLs are basically just files full of executable information stored in chunks like functions with a table that points to where each executable chunk is (it's not quite as simple as that sounds).

 

But still, as far as I know PHP has no way to interact with random DLLs.  You could write a PHP extension that interfaces with your own DLL, but that could quickly become difficult.

It could just act as a proxy so myfunction() in PHP user land (via the extension) would then map to myfunction() in his DLL. Assuming he knows C how to write PHP extensions, that shouldn't be so difficult.

Well, what if the DLL has to retain state or something?  I don't know why it would need to as long as it's just functions and not classes, but who knows.
