hello everyone!
I'm trying to gain some speed by moving a function from PHP legacy
code to C and making an extension. I'm trying to call *lynx* from the
command line since their C api isn't something soo nice likely to use
it as any other libXX
If it were me I would take a step back and look at what lynx was
actually needed for and whether there are other libraries out there that
can do similar things. Like libcurl + the html parsing available in
libxml2, for example. I'm assuming you are calling lynx in order to use
its html parser?
Moving something from PHP to C for performance reasons, but leaving in
the call to an external program isn't going to buy you much, if
anything, since most of your time is spent forking and launching that
external program on each request.
