Most PHP libraries are shims to C libraries anyway, so yes, basically.
You can certainly code up C acess to mysql for example.
I think the only other stuff I have used that's a bit out of the
ordinary is graphic manipulative stuff, and that's all available in C too.
Theres a few HTML specific string handling things that you might need to
replicate, but not a huge job really.
