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 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74163-what-is-core-hacking/#findComment-374586 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?

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.

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.
