Demo PHP extension

This PHP extension was generated using ext_skel script:

# git clone https://github.com/php/php-src
# cd php-src/ext
# ./ext_skel --extname=example
Creating directory example
Creating basic files: config.m4 config.w32 .gitignore example.c php_example.h CREDITS EXPERIMENTAL tests/001.phpt example.php [done].

To use your new extension, you will have to execute the following steps:

1.  $ cd ..
2.  $ vi ext/example/config.m4
3.  $ ./buildconf
4.  $ ./configure --[with|enable]-example
5.  $ make
6.  $ ./sapi/cli/php -f ext/example/example.php
7.  $ vi ext/example/example.c
8.  $ make

Repeat steps 3-6 until you are satisfied with ext/example/config.m4 and
step 6 confirms that your module is compiled into PHP. Then, start writing
code and repeat the last two steps as often as necessary.

Use your PHP packages (you'll probably need to install php-devel package) or build downloaded PHP sources yourself in order to compile this extension:

# cd example
# phpize
# ./configure --with-php-config=/path/to/your/php-config
# make install
# php example.php <-- just to check that it's working ok

This will compile and install example.so as a dynamic extension.

If you'd like to build PHP from sources, use the following commands:

# cd php-src
# ./buildconf
# ./configure --disable-all --disable-cgi --enable-debug
# make install

After that use installed phpize to compile dynamic extension.

If you'd like to build the extension statically, you need to change the configure line this way:

# ./configure --disable-all --disable-cgi --enable-debug --enable-example

The extension will be statically compiled into the PHP binary.
