How can we call a function from within a C++ library in PHP.

 

Can we link to a C++ library by using dl()?

If you are using php on a linux machine you can use the system function.

 

http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php

 

Or if you are using Windows machines, you can use shell_exec function.

 

http://uk2.php.net/shell_exec

 

example:

 

$Info = explode("\n", shell_exec(".\\progs\\program.exe"));

 

Will dump the output of program.exe in folder /progs/ to $Info using next line carriage as the exploder/seperator.
