Q: 

How do I make Win32 API calls from PHP?

I know that I can consume COM components but is there a way to directly call into the Win32 API's (user32.dll, advapi32.dll etc) from PHP or do I need to wrap in a PHP extension or COM object?

+1  A: 

The win32api support for php is very flaky. Have a look at this

I think win32api got yanked. Phalanger would be nice but sadly not an option.

Hmm...I feel a COM wrapper is in the pipeline.
