Hello,

I'm writing some windows apps that require a scripting language to control
various info. Has anyone had any experience or source code showing how to
embed PHP as a scripting language for a windows app? I'm
sure there's some neat way to link to php4ts.dll and pass a script to it.

Thanks again. John

I have no win32 experience, but you should look at the embed SAPI.

Already works, there is the ActiveScripts SAPI in the download.

Something that would be interesting would be to make it possible to use 
PHP with the WSH (Windows Scripting Host)..
I'm not sure if it's doable, but it sure would be nice :)

Python, perl, vbscript, javascript etc. work with the WSH.. It'd be cool 
to include PHP in that list :P

Thanks for all the answers everyone. I will look into ActiveScripts. Looks
interesting.
