Hi,

sometimes I miss some functions in PHP. Most of the times I write this 
function in PHP and put this function(s) in a extra file and include this 
file in every project I have. 

Now I want to write those functions I have collected over years in C. 

1. for training
2. that i don't need to include my files where my functions are in every time.
3. for more performance? 

So - how can I do this? I have good C/C++ knowledges. I had a look at google, 
the PHP site and at the source code of PHP - but I found nothing. 

I am looking for a little HowTo/Tutorial how am I able to add new features to 
PHP - perhaps as a module (dont know if it is possible) or as a lib or as 
something else.. .:) 

Greets and TIA

Christian

Be warned that parts of it are somewhat out of date, but the basics
are still applicable.

The last few chapters of George Schlossnagle's "Advanced PHP Programming"
are devoted to this topic...

The usual shameless plug: you may also want to have a look at PECL_Gen
