Buy the book: Extending and Embedding PHP by Sara Goleman.

It covers classes and a whole lot more. Required reading for anyone
developing PHP extensions.

I think you have to buy the Sara's Book
Very good book.

Hi Jordan,

next to the book, which is a good reading there are some lsides from
Marcus at talks.somabo.de (look for "Code Camp" or something like that)
which give an introduction, but well, slides are always made for being
explained during a talk :-)

Hi Jordan,

The extensions in ext/ and pecl/ (particularly the simple ones like
pecl/spread
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/spread/php_spread.c?view=markup)
demonstrate the process. I find http://lxr.php.net extremely useful for
quickly finding the connections in source code.
