Hi,

Unfortunately I cannot do that because I need to create registration codes for a software program and to do this it requires lots of bit manipulation and to have strong control over variable types and other things to get the codes correct.

I would like to store the returned value from a C function to a PHP variable.

I have heard of a thing called ccgi but I don't know if it will do what I want.

The easiest way is to wrap the function inside of a small executable. Then use the php system() function to execute it.

A slightly more challenging way is to basically load the function directly into php.
