.net assemblies and PHP, Windows server
Posted: Thu May 01, 2003 9:56 am
Hello,
I am developing a .NET application that I wish to expose to PHP. In the past, I would have used COM for this. On doing a web search, I discovered that there is something called a Mono extension for PHP which allows PHP to access .NET assemblies.
However, the documentation seems to assume PHP5 and Linux server. I don't see where one gets PHP5, and I have a Windows server. So when I downloaded the mono extension for Windows, none of the directions make any sense.
Does anyone here have experience in calling .NET assemblies from PHP, especially on a Windows 2K server?
Alternately, is there a way to exploit the .NET framework's "COM Callable Wrapper" such that the .NET assembly "looks like" a COM object to PHP?
Thanks!
