PHP + dll's?

Is it possible for php to call functions from dll's?

I am writing a game, and I'd like many interfaces, being it a web client written in php, a 3d downloadable client, etc. It is effectivly a mmorpg. All focuses around a database to store details, like registerd users. I was going to write a dll to do all the database access, and then the dll could be called from whatever client the gamer decides to use. However, for a web based interface, can php call functions from a dll?

If not, is there an alternate solution that you can think of?

Write a separate PHP class/script to do the functions 😉

I would use a php class / script, although it would only work with php, I'd like it to work with c++ programs, for example.

that com function looks promising, a quick browse revealed nothing, but is there a similar function for .so's for linux? I'm looking at writing a cross compatable library.
