PHP is modular in design — it consists of the ‘engine’ and many extensions, some of which are essential (e.g. the ‘standard’ extension) and some are optional. They can be compiled-in or loaded dynamically (via php.ini settings or the
dl()function).You can easily write your own PHP extension in C/C++, if you are willing to learn the API. Start with the documentation on how to ‘hack the Zend Engine’.
