Please note:  I'm hardly an advanced developer and have yet to produce 
any viable PHP extension.

That said, I have found this book to be helpful:
http://www.amazon.com/Extending-Embedding-PHP-Sara-Golemon/dp/067232704X

All these links and books are probably dated in some respects, but will 
help get you started. I have found that the source itself relies heavily 
on macro definitions in the code. This source browser has been extremely 
useful for me:
