Is there a way to use PHP and call dll function?

here is function for C:
Code:
const char *CreateCodeWithString(int level, const char *name, const char *templ, unsigned long HFF, unsigned short other1, unsigned short other2, unsigned short other3, unsigned short othe4, unsigned short otherinfo5, const char *wordstring);
DLL: Code.DLL

That function will return a String and that string is what i want to know
Thankx Much if anyone can make me a example.
