creating a new extension

I want to create a new extension that is a wrapper for the libfalken.so.12.0 shared library, I don't and can't get source code for it. I tried a very simple experiment where I just called the init() function (this sets up the initial variables and such) but when I call it I get a segfault in php... The core file shows this Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects If you need more of the core file, I can provide that, any help is appreciated.
