    Hi, I will explain my problem so you can understand the question.

    I have an app written in C++ which is in charge of administrating some data files. This app is in fact a shared library which will present an interface so other apps can communicate with the data files.

    Now, I need to create a PHP page to access some of the data stored in those files. As you can imagine, I want to use the already written C++ library to do this. So, my question is if it is possible to access a C++ library or "see" the C++ interface from within PHP.

    I know you can create an extension, but I read you must do it in C and I'm not sure how to make it for C++. Maybe creating a C api for the library?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance

    Steven
