Is it possible to include assembly code in a PHP script?

Question

I mean something like this:

asm( //assembly code here mov dx, 4 // etc... ) 

asm () - php function

perhaps?

Answer 1

No, It is Immpossible. Closest you can use exec() or similar functions to call external programs or scripts.

Answer 2

In short, no.

PHP scripts are compiled into bytecode specific to a particular virtual machine (assuming Zend Engine here). Thus, you cannot mix native and PHP code with a standard distribution.

However, it is possible to write C extensions for PHP in which you can use the built-in assembly.
