Calling a Windows dll from PHP 5.2.3
I am using php 5.2.3 and would like to call a windows dll I wrote. The dll is an mfc dll, but the functions are exported as extern "C" VOID PASCAL EXPORT MyFunction(char* name, char* city). Any help appreciated.

If your DLL contains a COM server and implements IDispatch, then you should be able to load it. If not, then you're probably going to have to write a custom PECL/Zend extension to load the DLL.
these are better handle either with a extension, or in some cases a call to a console application written in C/C++ etc

Thanks for the response. How would I add a com server to my dll and implement IDispatch? I'm not a MS C++ developer, so I would appreciate some guidance here, maybe some example code I can try. I'm also unclear how I would call a console app from PHP if I can't call a dll.
