The *_ex functions should only be used if you don't change the zval (parameters). For example the following code is incorrect: convert_to_long_ex(param); (*param)->value.lval = 2; The following is fine: convert_to_long_ex(param); id = (*param)->value.lval; Please don't convert to *_ex before you're actually sure how to do it. We don't want to break things now. You also have to move to zend_get_parameters_ex() and, yes, you must use zval **. Andi
