I'm pretty sure you need the wrapper functions. If you didn't then all the other libraries wouldn't have them. And they all have them. So you must need them. You may be able to get the names of the functions that are in that .so file using: strings whatever.so | less There will be a bunch of junk at the start and the end, but the function names will be there, in a block, eventually. Then you'll need some kinda documentation on what those functions do and what arguments they take. You *PROBABLY* have some kind of exsiting interface to this .so file in the first place, or it wouldn't be useful. If you have the .h file, use that. If you have some kind of Perl or C interface, use that. There might even be a docmented API listing all functions and their arguments. Use that too. If you have NONE of those, you probably are trying to violate some kind of license. Don't do that. :-v -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
