Zinnia (handwriting recognition) and PHP integration

Question

Can anyone please provide some instructions or steps on how to integrate zinnia (handrecognition system) with regular php? A sample of how it works could be found here.

Thank you.

It says Thread-safe C/C++/Perl/Ruby/Python libraries, so I guess you can't use it with PHP.

Place a feature request for PHP wrappers with the project space at sourceforge.

Or at least, not directly. Some kind of command line interface would be needed for PHP to connect to the libraries. Or, of course, a custom PHP extension. – Herr

The wrappers have been built with SWIG. SWIG can do PHP too, so the OP could place a feature request with the project space at sourceforge. – Freak

Gordon, thanks for your answer. But how difficult is it to create a PHP wrapper for Zinnia? Seems like zinnia support is not very active, so I suppose I'll have to do everything on my own... – Alis

Depends on your skill with C++ I guess. I have no clue. You'd have to look into the Zinnia sources and swig.org – Freak
