Extending PHP (Programming PHP) This chapter shows you how to write C language extensions to PHP. Although most functionality can be written in the PHP language, sometimes you need the extra speed and control you get from the C API. C code runs an order of magnitude faster than most interpreted script code, and it is also the mechanism for creating the thin middle layer between PHP and any third-party C library. For example, to be able to talk to the MySQL database server, PHP needs to implement the MySQL socket protocol. It would be a lot of work to figure out this protocol and talk to MySQL directly using fsockopen( ) and fputs( ) from a PHP script.
Instead, the same goal can be accomplished with a thin layer of functions written in C that translate MySQL's C API, implemented in the libmysqlclient.so library included in MySQL, into PHP language-level function calls. Before we get into the details of writing extensions, a note of caution. Figure 14-1 shows a diagram of a web server with PHP linked in. Figure 14-1. Introducing phpfarm.
Convissor/php_version_solution. Stow. GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place. For example, /usr/local/bin could contain symlinks to files within /usr/local/stow/emacs/bin, /usr/local/stow/perl/bin etc., and likewise recursively for any other subdirectories such as ... /share, ...
/man, and so on. This is particularly useful for keeping track of system-wide and per-user installations of software built from source, but can also facilitate a more controlled approach to management of configuration files in the user's home directory, especially when coupled with version control systems. Stow is implemented as a combination of a Perl script providing a CLI interface, and a backend Perl module which does most of the work. Stow is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License. Latest news Sat 18 Feb 2012 Stow 2.2.0 has been released! Tue 10 Jan 2012 Sat 03 Dec 2011. Cross compiler mini howto. Note added in 2004 The text below is several years old by now. Some notes and comments are sligtly dated. The basic procedure to build a cross compiler is still the same through, so if you apply some common sense it should still work fine.
In case you don't know what egcs is: that was a fork of the gcc compiler. Enjoy reading. Introduction This is a short description how to build and use a cross compiler. Step one: build binutils First, you need cross-linker and cross-assembler for your target platform. If you have the RedHat CD's offhand, you can pull the sources out of the rpm: $ rpm2cpio /vol/cd2/SRPMS/binutils-2.9.1.0.4-2.src.rpm | \ cpio --extract Otherwise you can download them from your favorite sunsite-mirror. Now untar the binutils source code ("tar xvzf binutils-2.9.1.0.4.tar.gz"), change to into the new directory and configure the sources for cross-compiling: $ .
Type "make" to compile the whole thing now. You should have the programs installed in /usr/local/bin now: $ for file in .. Cross Compile PHP 5.3.3 to ARM.

Whilst developing a PHP extension recently I spent quite a bit of time researching exactly how to create an extension, the best practices and the DocBook format of the PHP manual for documenting the extension. By the time I finished writing the extension I had found some very good resources both on the web and in print.
Pyrus Also worth a mention is the ability of the new PEAR2 Pyrus installer to generate a skeleton for you to build your PECL extension upon - see the generate-ext section of the manual. Pyrus can also be used to package your extension up for release using the pickle command. Support For more help there is a PECL mailing list and IRC channel (#php.pecl on efnet), both of which are in the support section of the PECL website.
