Using C/C++ code in PHP without writing an extension

I read it's possible to use C/C++ code in PHP by writing an extension. Is there a simpler way, like wrapping magic or things like that (I must say, I heard the word, but don't know much about what a wrapper is).

Solution

  • Compiling a php extension isn't very hard. There is a little API to learn just like C programs has the main function and how to pass variables to the main function.
