Passing structure to PHP function

Hi,

I'm "translating" some function, that recieves a pointer to structure of
this type:

struct {
char * text;
char ** value;
int flags;
};

and I'm get stuck here, thinking of a legal way how to pass the list of
structures to my PHP function. I thought to pass it in this way:

myfunc (
array(
array("text" => $text1, "value" => &$value1, "flags" => flags1),
array("text" => $text2, "value" => &$value2, "flags" => flags2),
...
)
);

but, I wonder whether this way is acceptable? Anyway, is there another
solution to this problem?

Thanks.

This looks like a string, an array and an integer to me.  So just pass
that.  Or an array of those if there is more than one.

Actually, the prototype of the function is the following:

int newtWinEntries (char * title, char * text, int suggestedWidth, int flexDown, int flexUp, int dataWidth, struct newtWinEntry * items, char * button1, ...)

Where newtWinEntry is the structure mentioned above.
The problem is that I have to accept a list of such structures as an
argument. Value (char ** value) is the reference to the returned value.

So, you say there's no need to use string keys in the array ?
