If the ffi route doesn't work, just create a COM wrapper for the simple DLL,

If you're developing with PHP5, but the production environment is PHP4
then at the top of each script you probably want to add:
?php
ini_set('zend.ze1_compatibility_mode', 1);
?
This way you will have objects default to pass by value instead of by
reference and you don't end up
Then you're a better coder than me, but then again who isn't. :) It's
just that in general I try to make things as strict / difficult as
possible to code during development so that I will catch as many errors
as possible before hand. But then again I use error_reporting(E_ALL).

PHP is server side, not client side, where the form is. You would need to
use javascript for that.
