Mixing Lua and PHP?

Question

I really want to mix Lua and PHP, for example, receive a PHP request and process some parts of the request using Lua scripts (called from the PHP script that received the original request).

Any clues about this? I saw how some libraries used Lua as some kind of replacement for PHP, but I did not see anything clear about how to use Lua and PHP together.

Answer 1

Have you seen phplua ? It looks like he can do what you want. I found it through the Lua binding-with-other-languages ​​page (it was the only suitable option, for better or for worse).

Answer 2

PECL Lua.

Answer 3

I assume that you do not want to embed lua in PHP, which runs lua as an external script and reads the result. This is a fairly common operation and this page contains some recommendations.
