[snip] You can build your own dll -or use that older dll as you say-, assuming it have exported the necessary functions and calling them using the php_w32api extension, just register necessary types, functions and you're ready to go, without any kind of recompilation of php or any dll static linking, the dll is just loaded when you register the dll functions from the php code using that beautiful extension. There are some tricks if you take this way, in relation with the type and size of data you need to send or receive from the dll, but it works pretty well. And you could code your own dll wrapper interface to the older dll if some workaround is needed to have it working -perhaps callbacks, hard data types, etc.- [/snip]
php_w32api extension...that sounds like a plan....I wonder why it is not mentioned with regards to things like this? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
