Is there any way to use DLLs in PHP under Linux?

As far as I know, it's only possible under Windows. But m开发者_StackOverflowaybe, just maybe, there is some perverse way to achieve this under Linux..?

I doubt it, take a look at this SO question.

I mean nothings impossible, you could wrap it with mono, or emulate it with WINE, but to be honest it's probably going to be an ugly solution however you spin it.

You could run the Windows PHP through Wine.

Any specific reason for wanting to do this?

If its web related just host it on a different box and call the DLL via a service layer.
