[PHP][Win32 API]Calling W32Api’s
Author:3 Dec
I've been reading around trying to find a way to call kernel32.dll to my script. Seems there use to be a way in php 4.x.x they had a include called php_w32api.dll. Problem is you cannot load this into current php 5.x.x, or 6.0. So then I stumbled onto FFI, which seems to only be usable in 5.0.5. Then I stumbled onto DynamicWrapper. Which shut down. Are there any w32api wrapper dlls out that I could use to call a function from kernel32? A push in the right direction or a link to a current one would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
