phpSensei Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 First thing i would like to ask is why is there "HACKING" in this method of php coding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derwert Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 It's a section for discussing making changes to PHP itself. It's C coding, if you'd like a good book on the subject see "Extending and Embedding PHP" by Sara Golemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 What are the things that C coding gives you the freedom to do, than just regular php itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 C is a much lower language which can interact directly with hardware. Alot of open source software (Linux,Apache,MySql,PHP,Python etc etc...) is written in C because of its great flexablity and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btherl Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Some examples of what you can do in C but not in PHP - Interface with libraries written in C or C++ - Write fast low-level algorithms for specific applications - Interface with system calls not already supported in php Most php extensions are just bindings to an existing C or C++ library.
