PHP FFI: using a Kotlin Multiplatform library — part 4

With Stéphane Péchard https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanepechard/, Android expert and KMP guru, we wondered if developing an algorithm under KMP and executing it directly in PHP would be feasible. The specifications were simple: the Android dev (Stéphane) provides me with a header file, a .so file and I handle it. With the header file, the contract, we should be able to come up with something... So we managed to make our function call. But to be honest, I still strug...
