call 3rd party extensions func from PHP extension

[Qwaygon]

Hi, im wondering is there a way to call 3rd party extension function from my own PHP extension? like make an MySQL query.

for now i only can imagine a "proxy" method with zend_eval_string() which isnt that good i guess, i also know that i can access standard php function mostly by prefixing them with "php_" like "php_printf", is there way to call mysql function same way? (and if so, how can i know their internal names and signatures?)
tnx ^)

You have confused me, Sir. Could your please clarify, post some code, draw a diagram, something to help me understand?

Anyone else understand what he's trying to do?

im new to PHP extension development, and while there are few good tutorials i cant find an example for may particular situation.
this is sort of what i can do in PHP

$link = mysql_connect(...);
mysql_select_db(...);
$result = mysql_query(...);
$line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

is there way to call mysql_connect/mysql_select_db/... etc from within my extension? same way as i can call php_printf() as of now i can only think of using zend_eval_string() and pass PHP code to it. hope this makes it more clear ^)

Those are built-in functions. You should have no problem using them as-is in your own application.

Are you aware of http://www.php.net/docs.php ? You can read about all the internal functions like the mysql functions on their site.

Just let us know if you need any additional help!

tnx for quick answer, i cant test it right away, but didn't those are userspace (PHP space) functions? please see this question http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/8...-php-extension as related, differnece in my case that mysql_connect is not one of the core function but part of mysql.so extension.

in case anyone will find this thread this is the answer
http://lxr.php.net/
search here for PHP space function and then look into souces to see internal function name
in my case

PHP_FUNCTION(mysql_connect)
{
    php_mysql_do_connect(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAM_PASSTHRU, 0);
}
