calling functions compiled in binary lib

[Anon]

Hi there.
I have heard ASP programmers can call functions inside DLLs from ASP scripts...

Can I do function calls within PHP against a static compiled library (coded in C (Linux))

If I could use include() with this kind of binary files it would be great!!

Thanks in advance

You can use the php function dl()

On unix
dl("someso.so");
On windows
dl("somedll.dll");
