I figured it out! I was loading the wrong file (slap-on-the-forehead). Sorry about my last email. Curt, thank you for helping me out. Now, my first dummy extension is working.... :)) Anas Mughal wrote:

Okay, solved that as well. SED environment variable was not defined! How come I had to define it myself?! Shouldn't the build process take care of that? Anyway, now when I try to load the extension my_ext.la in my PHP as follows: if(!extension_loaded('my_ext')) {
        dl('my_ext.la');
} I get the following error: Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/my_ext.la' - /usr/local/apache/htdocs/my_ext.la: invalid ELF header in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/my_ext.php on line 4 It is very strange to see this error. I have done all my development on one Redhat Linux box. I didn't switch OS platforms. Please advise. Thanks. Anas Mughal wrote:
I found one problem. I had to add "=shared" after --enable-my_ext. So, this is what I did: ./configure --enable-my_ext=shared Now, the makefile looks much better. (I have attached the Makefile.) However, I get errors in make. Those errors are generated when invoking the libtool command. .......
