Subject: Re: extension module for data acquisition

  For code samples you can look at any number of extensions available in the
PECL repository ( http://pecl.php.net ).  For more direct assistance, the
best mailing list would be pecl-dev@lists.php.net .

  Do you plan to release your extension to the public as an open source
extension?  Or would your company rather keep the extension closed source
and package it with their product?  Either approach is fine, but if you plan
to release it as an OSS extension then the PECL repository can offer hosting
space for the source code, and package downloads (Note: LGPL licensing is
strongly discouraged and GPL licensing is outright disallowed on all
packages hosted in PECL -- BSD or PHP license is preferred).
