What is the best way for a PHP web application to connect to an
external application written by C in Linux OS?
(1) Can PHP directly call external C functions, or similar solution?
No, but you can wrap the C functions in a PHP extension.
(2) Can PHP pass messages to message queue which external C program
can access?
Depends on the implementation of the queue, but the answer is almost
certainly yes.
(3) Socket connection between the PHP and externam C program.
This would usually be my preferred choice unless there is a particular
reason to avoid this in which case I would go down the PHP extension
route.
A lot will depend on what the C code is doing and how your PHP scripts
will interact with it.
