dl() function / w32api

[richard]

when i load the page i get an error saying:

 

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use

extension=php_w32api.dll in your php.ini in Z:\www\win32_test.php on line 2

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function w32api_register_function() in Z:\www\win32_test.php on line 3

 

 

i already made sure the line "extension=w32api.dll" is uncommented and the dl() function

is enabled in the php.ini file and the actual w32api.dll IS in my extensions folder. here's my code:

 

function mBox()
{
dl("php_w32api.dll");
w32api_register_function("User32.dll","MessageBoxA","long");
MessageBoxA(NULL, $str, "blahblahblah", MB_OK);
}

In all honesty I think this is a dead duck!

 

With the introduction of PHP 5 series php_w32api.dll was dropped.

It looks as if its no longer maintained.

 

There was hint of an alternative ffi (Foreign Function Interface) I think that met the same fate.

 

If you are just wanting to have a play with php_w32api.dll it may work on Uniform Server 3.1 which was the last version to contain PHP 4 series.

 

All the best

is there any other way to access the win32 API using PHP?

If it’s locally then this is worth a read:
