As Kimmo said, you can't call a C function as-is. One option would be, as
he says, to compile it into a standalone executable, reading the
function's parameters from the command-line arguments, and then call the
compiled executable using a system() function in PHP.
However, if your C function wishes to receive an array or object parameter
you will probably need to compile the C function as a PHP extension. PHP
extensions become available as if they were normal built-in functions of
PHP. This method is a lot more complicated, but ultimately should provide
a faster and more stable solution. It makes it easier to link against a
large C library.
