Hello Everyone,

I have some knowledge of C and would like to learn more, i have a great book
by Deitel & Deitel and have gone through it.  What i would like to know is
where i can get docs on creating PHP extensions so that i could use them
with my PHP on windows and nix.

Any direction is appreciated.

http://www.zend.com/php/internals/  should be enough to get you started.

George Schlossnagle's "Advanced PHP Programming" has a chapter or two in the
back on extension development, and I should have "Extending and Embedding
PHP" out early next year.

Beyond that, just ask questions (preferrably on the pecl-dev@lists.php.net
list -- internals@ is supposed to be focused on the core) and hopefully
someone will be able to offer insight.

You can also check out my book: http://tinyurl.com/7aect It's a free download.
It has one chapter of the basics for PHP extension writing. It might 
not answer all your questions but definitely gives a solid foundation 
for understanding how things work.

1 (one) email about this would have been enough. No more spam please! :)
