Just curious.. what benefits are you expecting to gain from having the function in an extension vs a plain custom php function?Mike B– Mike B2009-10-02 00:38:04 +00:00Commented Oct 2, 2009 at 0:38

To write a function in C, that can be used from PHP, you'll have to write an extension.
There are not that many informations about that available, unfortunatly...
Still, searching through my bookmarks, here are the links I found :
- Extension Writing Part I: Introduction to PHP and Zend
- Extension Writing Part II: Parameters, Arrays, and ZVALs
- Extension Writing Part II: Parameters, Arrays, and ZVALs [continued]
- Extension Writing Part III: Resources
- Wrapping C++ Classes in a PHP Extension
And, if you are really interested by the subject, and ready to spend some money on it, you could buy the book Extending and Embedding PHP (some pages are available as preview on Google Books too) ; I've seen a couple of times that it was the book to read when interested on this subject (In fact, I've bought it some time ago, and it's an interesting read)
BTW, the author of that book is also the author of the first four articles I linked to ;-)

If you just want to call a C function from PHP, you could use Gearman as an intermediary.
