Not if you're using PHP3. I have no idea if PHP4 allows this or not.

What you would have to do would be write PHP3 wrapper functions, compile
them, and either link them into the PHP3 module/cgi/whatever or use them
as loadable modules.

Unfortunately, that would call for a significant application of magic,
since the interface isn't exactly well-documented.
