Embeder uses the phpembed SAPI from PHP inorder to embed a version of PHP into itself. From there is uses win32std to access a PHP file and run it from it's internal res.

Currently, there is one major limitation: It does not embed PHP completely, rather it ouputs PHP into a DLL, as of now called php5ts.dll

This is the same for extensions, shared ones must be loaded via php-embed.ini

You'll need:

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2012+ (2010 might work), 2015 (win8.1 / w10)
• PHP Source code w/ it being compilied

1. Download this repo.
2. Open up src/embeder.sln
3. Modify the projects includes/libs path to reflect your php source location (must be compilied with atleast --enable-embed)
4. Run make_embeder.cmd

Includes: Project > embeder Properties > Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories > Include Directories

Libraries: Project > embeder Properties > Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories > Library Directories

Modify php-embed.ini

[PHP]
extensions_dir='./'
extension=php_someextension.dll

You're using an old version, afxres.h has been replaced by winres.h
