Hello,

How do I call functions within a C library so that they run when called
with PHP?

Can someone please supply an example, perhaps with a real C library?

I am trying to work with the Swiss ephemeris library and PHP.

Dear Otis,

There is a pear library http://pear.php.net/package/Inline_C but I
doubt it is usable with a whole C library.
You could also try to compile your C library as php extension. I read
about it in

Good luck

I Otis,
look at http://swephp.rgbsoft.net
There is a nice implementation of swephe for PHP;
but only implemented on Linux platform.
I'm trying to do this on windows.
