PHP and C/C++ / Apache

I work for a company that until know had been using there own webserver and page building application, they now want the whole system transfered to PHP running on an apache server, my problem is that alot of the things they want to do involve calling C/C++ DLL's at runtime, either via PHP or having Apache load them so they are available via a function call, basically i need somthing that will do the following in PHP

handle = LoadLibrary("MyDLL");
DLLFunct1=(DLLFUNCT)GetProcAddress(handle,"Function1");

Anyone that has working knowledge in C/C++ recognises these calls
Is there anything like that in PHP or is there a way to get apache to do it, i've looked everywhere, This is our most desperate hour, help me obi won kinobi your my only hope?
We are using Visual Studio 6 or .net and PHP5

In advance, thanks.

I'm not obi won, but i'll offer my two cents.

Have you looked into PHP's W32api functions or COM functions?
