C lib and PHP

[rfurdzik]

How can I port an existing C librarry to PHP ? Can I call C functions from PHP ?

I have "virtual environment", so it may not be posiible for me to change PHP original settings.

Please help

No, you can't call C functions from PHP.

What do you mean how can you port a C library to PHP? You create functions in PHP that mimic what the C functions do.

I have an existing C library I would like to somehow use from within PHP. The code is complex and it will take me months to translate it to PHP. I heard I can create extensions to PHP.

Another posibility is to translate C code to Java and call it from PHP (how to do this ?)But the code is full of pointers...

Is there a tool which translates C to Java or C to PHP ?

Thanks
