Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL access via C/C++ From: Doug Semig (dougslist <email protected>)

You have at least two choices: you can use the MySQL C API or you can use
PHP compiled as a program.

The MySQL C API is documented in the MySQL docs.
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Clients.html#C
(if your e-mail client wraps this long link, then you'll have to copy/paste
it into your browser).

If your PHP is already available as a program, then you can just write PHP
scripts to do whatever you want. To find out if your administrator did
this, just type "php -h" at your shell prompt. If you get something like
this:

Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s] [-v] [-i] [-f <file>] | {<file> [args...]}
  -q Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP Header output.
  -s Display colour syntax highlighted source.
  -f<file> Parse <file>. Implies `-q'
  -v Version number
  -c<path> Look for php.ini file in this directory
  -a Run interactively
  -d foo[=bar] Define INI entry foo with value 'bar'
  -e Generate extended information for debugger/profiler
  -z<file> Load Zend extension <file>.
  -i PHP information
  -h This help

then you can cron PHP scripts.
