How to add my own built-in function to php source code?

Question

I know php code can be rewritten in C. So just like a strpos() function, I want to add my own built-in function (lets assume a function name vinod) in php source code. Is this possible? If yes then let me know the procedure.

Sample function pseudo-code: my function will return str in a heading tag1.

vinod($str)
{
    return <h1>$str</h1>;
}

Why do you want to extend the PHP parser? Just write you own functions in PHP... — Uwe Allner

Just why? 1. You would need to write your code in C 2. You would need to re-compile the source code and it would be a HUGE amount of work to add/update all entries in the source code that your function works! Then you can also write your own program language... — Rizier123

Sara's book is a bit out of date now, but it's still the definitive guide to editing the PHP core - amazon.com/Extending-Embedding-PHP-Sara-Golemon/dp/067232704X — Mark Baker

You can make a PHP C extension, to add your custom C functions to be available as PHP native functions see below:
