This is actually my first venture to PHP extensions. I am trying to
write a simple C function, which prints 'hello world', as a PHP

I defined a helloworld.proto as:
int helloworld() prints hello, world

executed ext_skel, and followed the remaining steps that it showed
on-screen, including editing config.m4.

I'm sorry my previous mail appeared twice - I was confused by a
majordomo reply saying 'Commands not understood'.
