Thanx for the feedback -- the purpose of supporting PHP scripts is specific to allowing users to build their own scripts to drive an application ... if the ability to provide dynamic application behavior thru scripting wasn't required I would just hardcode the values.
Basically the scripts have simple math statements that get called about 60 times a second, each call updates a variable to which the application uses in staging a graphic element on the screen. I have a parse/executor in place today but rather than enhance and build on it I want to ditch my work and incorporate something more mainstream -- I like PHP and thought to go that route. Just came across sapi/embed and am now looking into that direction. Do you know where I can find the API docs for the zend_ functions? I can't seem to find them online. I generally will need to 1. set my 'C' variables in the zend symbol table, I will use zend_hash_update for that 2. run a function in the user supplied script that updates the variables 3. read the updated variables and change the application graphics I feel I am almost there but need more on the zend_ stuff.
