You've asked this question in both php and javascript newsgroups.
PHP runs on the server
Javascript usually runs on the client
Where do you expect this object library to be? On the client, or on the
server?

If the library is on the server, than you can look at SWIG
(www.swig.org) to create a wrapper module. If the C++ executable is on
the server, you can use the exec() call to run it from php.
If the library or executable is on the *client*, then you need to run or
call it from JavaScript (I think SWIG can build wrappers for JavaScript
as well as PHP).

Thanks for the info. Robert but it would appear that C++ is not one of
the languages that is supported by SWIG although SWIG is implemented
in C++.
http://www.swig.org/compat.html#SupportedLanguages
I guess I will make executables and run them using exec() from PHP.
Thanks,
Peter.

SWIG DOES support C++! You are misunderstanding the above URL. It is
the list of supported *scripting* languages (PHP is supported as of
swig-1.3.11). There is never a reason to write a wrapper for C++ for
calling C++ functions. SWIG generates wrappers for *scripting
languates* (such as PHP) to call *compiled* languages including *both*
C AND C++ and it actually also works for FORTRAN, and likely any other
*compiled* language that can be called from C (like Pascal, Ada, Cobol,
etc.). SWIG actually generats C or C++ code.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the info. I have a large number of C++ classes. Would
SWIG be the better way to go or would writing executables and using
PHP exec() be better. I know how to do the latter but thr former my
be more efficient.
Thanks,
Peter.

Unless your classes are doing something really exotic, SWIG will do 99%
of the work interfacing between PHP and C++. You'd mostly just use
SWIG's 'include' statement and include the header files and SWIG will go
from there.
