C++ with php

PHP

Hello.

I have created a application in c++, that returns content from text files with different data types.

Now I wonder… How can i write a function in php that connects to my application in c++, and then tell the application to retrive certain content, and lastly returns the content (in their right datatypes) back in to an array in php?

Any suggestions?

Thanks, but how can this be done if the c++ program/application is running on another computer/server, different from the webapplication/php. Maybe I can connect to it with a ip and password somehow?

you could connect to the server using ssh, although it generally makes more sense to have the C++ application offer a public interface (Web Service, SOAP, etc.).

Thank you, I’ll take a closer look at what you’ve mentioned. But how about mysqli_connect and mysqli_query functions. How do you think they work internally? They fulfill the same function I’m trying to achieve

you could check the PHP source code …

There a C application (PHP) communicates with another C application (MySQL) via TCP using MySQL’s public interface.
