Assembly Language inside PHP - possible / not ?

[Sarel]

Hi All,

I'd like to know whether it is possible to use inline assembly code
inside PHP? Remember good old Turbo Pascal 7, one could write Assembly
language inside it if you have a function that will be ran millions of
times inside a loop? This sped up the process by hundred-folds because
of the speed of that bit of assembly language.
Well, I'd like to do the same in PHP, but am unable to find any
conclusive evidence (and help) on whether this works and how.

Any ideas... anybody?

Thanks

Sarel

Not inside PHP... What you need to do is to write a custom PHP
extension in C; inside that extension, you can do anything C allows
you to do, including inline assembly code...

Thanks NC... I was hoping to avoid that... but it looks like I'm just
gonna have to get down to learning how to write extentions :)

Thanks again.
