Re: [Q] invoking Lua from within PHP

[Eike Decker <zet23t@...>]

Just a question - if you are falling back to Lua, what do you need PHP
then for?
In theory you could compile a library for PHP which allows you to
spawn Lua states in PHP which would minimize the overhead. But then
again, you could create a Lua module for your webserver which is doing
the same thing as PHP is doing for the webserver.
