I was wondering whether it is possible to use the PHP engine as an includable library in Visual Basic.
If it is possible, where could I find out more about it and what are the legal implications surrounding the distribution of such a package?

I suspect you could get all the information you need from a source download. The license is there and if I'm not mistaken, it's possible to create an embedable (I know I bunged that spelling!) compile. Check the compilation options. I don't know how you do that on Windows (I'm assuming again), but on Linux, it's "./configure --help | less'.
Do make sure you double check what I said. I haven't had access to a Linux box in three weeks and I'm going crazy!

First off, you shouldn't hijack threads like this. Additionally, this one has been close to dead for days now. Starting a new one would prolly have been a better idea as it would've garnered more response.cmkpl wrote:i don't know the source code,can anyone help me to send things to php through vb,and get output through vb?
Anyways, what exactly is it that you want to do. Also, not to sound like I'm down on PHP, but you can do all the same things in VB that you can in PHP. It's just not as easy.
Let us know what you're doing.

VB and PHP are almost apples and oranges. VB is primarily target to desktop apps and PHP is for the web. So - it depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. If it is a web app on IIS - certainly you could write a DLL Com component in VB and call it from a PHP script,
as long as you are on an IIS server. Tell us what you are trying to do and perhaps we can provide some suggestions!
