For a nice introduction to extension writing, read this
article:
Part I: Introduction to PHP and Zend
http://zend.com/php/internals/extension-writing1.php
As well as the various README files found within the php
source files:
http://cvs.php.net/php-src/
And let's not forget about PECL_Gen. Although it requires
PHP 5 to run, it also allows one to quickly create
extensions that work in both PHP 4/5. There is also ext_skel
but it's slowly being replaced by PECL_Gen:
http://pecl.php.net/package/PECL_Gen
And of course the Zend API docs:
http://php.net/manual/en/zend.php
The Zend article above will be a five part series, which is
pretty cool :)
Regards,
Philip
