It would actually be very convenient to have a C++ to PHP class mapping
extension, that would seamlessly integrate C++ classes into PHP, making
them be callable from PHP code (and the other way around as well would
also be very good).
This is a bit similar to what gcj is doing; they have a special API
called CNI (Cygnus Native Extensions) that makes Java classes be
available to C++ classes, and the other way around. It works very well
as far as I understand, but of course it is much easier to do it with
Java and C++ since they share almost all the syntax and concepts, and
they are both compiled environments... PHP is a different baby. :)
