A bit more background as to why I need them :)

I can't believe I only just came across this library now :)

I spent the later part of last year writing an online stockmarket
analysis application in PHP. Since I didn't know c++ in detail I had
to write all the data import and analysis routines in php. This
obviosuly would generate quite a bit of speed difference to my
import routines. 2-3 hours for the australian stockmarket.

Recently we tried to get someone to convert my php routines to c++
but they didn't quite get it right.

So my main question is has anyone integrated this into the PHP
source code. I would love to be able to use these routines in my php
scripts. If noone has, is anyone willing to write it? I am sure I can get
my boss to chip in some dollars.
