In your example, I don't see how you execute the foo() C function from =
PHP.

Would it be possible to embed C code in a PHP function or method ?

If yes, how do both codes access each other's data ? If foo() takes =
arguments, how would they be transmitted from PHP ? What about scalar =
type conversions to fit the expected C argument types ? The same about =
return value.

To summarize, I'd like to know how PHP and C code can communicate =
together.
