Integrating PHP and C++ or ASM for web applications?

[x0054]

I am simply experimenting in this area, but are there any tutorials on
integrating C++ or ASM binaries with PHP? For instance, I have an
application in PHP that reads a rather large matrix of data from a
database and then needs to structure it into a tree. Well, it works fine
in PHP, but it would be a lot faster in C++. I was thinking of exporting
the tree function to C++ so that I would have a faster execution time of
my PHP script.

Is there a way to have like a function type interface in PHP to a binary
without writing a PHP module and installing it on a system? Other then the
obvious, just using standard output/input.

Thanks for any help,

- Bogdan

You're talking about a PHP extension.

Thank you, I think I may try that. I was looking though for something that
does not need to be directly installed into the PHP tree. Like a
standalawn binary that php can interact with. But I guess the only way to
do that would be through standard output. I think I'll just try writing an
extension.

No No, write a library in C++ then use PHP's COM support to get the
data. Easy peasy.

If you happen to be running windows?

Oh yeah, I forget about Linux these days.. I think there are a couple
of CORBA libs for PHP 4 and 5... that does the same(ish) thing, doesn't
it?

I am running Linux. I will google that, see if I can find any tutorials.
If some posts a link, that would be grate.

Thank you,
