but I can't find documentation on it.

I need to know the following:
1.       How to add new function to php
2.       In that function how to write to the http stream
3.       How to access data from sql recordset

Please point me in the right direction for this. Thanks.

-- Regards,
	Buck Robinson

Well, I'm far from being competent here but since I don't see any answers...

The best place to start IMHO is
php-x.y.z/ext
directory
It have a script to create new extension "ext_skel".
Use "--help" option to start.
Look at the files it create.
It helped me ...

 `printf()` will do but it doesn't seems to be correct thing since
headers (sent?) state is not checked.
It means you can start output and headers will be sent _after_
your output. you can use `printf()` for debug purposes till you
find appropriate way.

No idea. You should look in ext/mysql/*.c.
