Hi!
I didn't find a better place to ask...

I would like to know what I'd have to do to link a small server written
in C against a _shared_(!) libphp(!)...

I had a look at php-cli and mod_php but both seem to link everything
static which isn't what I want... I also had a look at the options of
the configure script...

..but ended up subscribing here...


How do I compile the whole php engine as a shared lib? It must work
somehow... Why else would there be something like php-config?


Please, somebody, lemme know what todo/read...

Thanks,
Dirk

Embed sapi is probably what you are looking for.
