PHP and a c++ backend

[jdbolt]

Hi,

I have writen a web app, but the users want another use case implemented for it. They want to be able to view files from LiveLink - this is a entrise web based file management system.

To do this, I need to use functions in the LiveLink API, this can be done in either Java or C++.

I was wondering if it is possible to write a windows executable or a windows dll which php can use to call these API functions in LiveLink and get the results, so in a way the dll or exe sits between the API and PHP.

I have done this before in JSP, using Beans, but JSP is not an option here.

Does anyone know of any tutorials or have any advice before I set off on this adventure


Thanks!

As an alternate solution, you might try extending PHP:
