Howdy,

One thing that would make it much easier for Zend/PHP to integrate with
other runtime environments, is letting PHP_FUNCTION() functions accept
the argument stack as a parameter, and then having the utility
libraries, accept and manipulate those parameters.  For 90% of the
functions (certainly for the external libraries), this would allow the
functions in libphp to be called without an execution environment.

Would it be possible to add that parameter to the engine and change the
call semantics of parse_parameters to allow for direct argument access?

I'm sorry but I am missing what you need this for. Could you provide an
example why would you need it - i.e. calling external library functions
via PHP without PHP environment?

Compiling PHP down to CLR, then one could create a small wrapper which resolved PHP functions,
and called into the PHP library to provide access to them.

This is something Marco and I would love to see, as it would make our
compilers much easier to implement by allowing us to call the PHP
functions directly, instead of forcing us to somehow "hack it" (or worse
yet, re-implement it).
