The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
Since I also want my downvote today, I will try to answer to this question ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if what you're asking is possible. But I'm sure of some other things :
The result will be really complicated, slow and will lead to many problems with dependencies and portability.
You will get much better answer if you try to explain why you're asking this and what are the goals you want to achieve
The major part of PHP is implemented in C, so everything your doing in PHP can be done in C too. Concerning this, here's some reading about Turing Completeness.
Learning the C language instead of wanting to use some known PHP functions will open you new perspectives which will only improve your coding skills.
You should ask you if you really want / have to use C, or if it's better to use some other higher level language.
If you want to decode JSON messages in C, http://www.json.org/ lists plenty of C implementation of the standard you can use. For base64 decoding, see this How do I base64 encode (decode) in C? for example.
No you cannot. You can however "extend" PHP using C and might be able to cook something up like this but it's not really useful. Why do you want to do this?
ReplyDeleteSince C is faster than PHP, and PHP is written in C, I am thinking that trying to use PHP functions in C would make your program unnecessarily slow. And I am pretty sure that it is impossible.
ReplyDeleteYou could, and actually this is a project I have in mind.
ReplyDeleteWhat has to be done is to get the PHP SPL code and just rewrite it (clean it a little) to be used as a regular C library.
I'd like to do it some day.
