Read DLL

[Anon]

Hello Guys

Can PHP interface with DLL lib and use functions from that DLL?

No. Could be an interesting module to add to WIN PHP. Any volunteer ?
Or write a little utility, similar to rundll32.exe, but more powerful, that you could call via exec().

You can tell PHP to load a DLL by adding a line to php.ini. I'm not sure how it's done, but there should be some examples you can copy already in there.

It seems to me that there may also be a way to dynamically load a DLL in a script - but I may have dreamt that. I just looked through the manual and couldn't find anything relevant.

Yes, but only PHP modules, not arbitrary DLLs.
P.S. The dynamic extension loading is achieved through the dl() function.
