扩展PHP以与R编程语言进行通信

I'm on a road to build a PHP extension module to allow PHP to communicate with the R programming language.

My objective for this module is to allow me to run some R function directly from PHP.

I haven't build any extension on PHP before, but I know how to write a php program. I know a little bit about C and C++

I'm interested to hear what the expert advice on this one.

Here's some of the questions I want to know:

1. Is it possible to achieve the above idea?
2. What tools do I need?
3. What is the effective way to do this?

Please use the search feature at the top-right before you post.

Similar questions have been asked before, see e.g.

• Pass and get variables between PHP and R
• Integration of R Language with php to take the result from R
• php and R integration

and there are probably more.
