Use C or C++ libraries as PHP extension
<p>Minutes back I read something like "it should be possible to link the C++ library as a php extension".  </p>

<ul>
<li>Is it really possible?  </li>
<li>if yes, which is better, newly written extension or a linked library (efforts and performance wise).  </li>
<li>Also can you guys point me to some How-to or related doc.</li>
</ul>
