Hello Adam,

  It is indeed possible to convert the PHP program to C source with phc.
  You can try it yourself, as long as you compile phc with PHP embed
SAPI (http://www.phpcompiler.org/doc/latest/install.html):
  $ phc --generate-c file.php > file.c

  Unfortunately, the generated code is not quite human readable. It
translates PHP instruction to respective PHP libraries C wrappers
making it quite difficult to understand.

  Maybe a better fit for you is the HIPHOP compiler. I haven't yet
looked at it, but it is supposed to  generate C++ code out of PHP. A
discussion between the phc approach and the HIPHOP can be found on
Paul's blog: http://blog.paulbiggar.com/archive/a-rant-about-php-compilers-in-general-and-hiphop-in-particular
. More about HIPHOP can be found on:
http://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/wiki .

  I hope you decided for phc afterall. It is a great PHP compiler. (;
  Best regards,
    Andrei
