Is it possible to write a web application with C which acts both as the application and web server.

I mean, typically, web applications are written in PHP which is invoked by Apache. If you want to write an extremely fast and efficient small application can you write an executable to work independent of Apache and PHP interpreter?

Edit: I want to write a simple game and the game is multi-player and should run as a server, client parts can be html forms within a browser. Doy you know of any simple open source game I can use as a skeleton? I want something which does not require a separate web-server or database-server
