Hi all

I created an ASP ActiveX DLL file in Delphi that works great using ASP on
IIS.

Is it possible to use ActiveX DLL files within PHP like in ASP? but on an
Apache webserver that is running on a Windows machine?

In ASP it works like this:

<% Set DelphiAxObj = Server.CreateObject("TestX.TestX")
DelphiAxObj.heading = "A test string"
Response.Write DelphiAxObj.heading
%>

Ultimatly I need the ActiveX object to perform some windows api functions
and then send the result as HTML back to the user so I cant use a Linux
machine but I prefer PHP and MySQL and running PHP in IIS can be
troublesome.

Maybe i'm just complicating the matter and should just stick with asp and
iis and get MySQL running in Windows.

Thanks for any help
Geoff
