I ran ext_skel, modified config.m4 where it had the PHP_ARG_ENABLE line: PHP_ARG_ENABLE(foo, whether to enable foo support, dnl Make sure that the comment is aligned: [ --enable-foo Enable foo support]) I followed the remaining steps too, (./buildconf --force, ./configure --with-foo, make) Now when I say ./sapi/cli/php -f ext/foo/foo.php I get this error: Warning: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/foo.so' - /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/foo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in /home/deep/php-4.3.10/ext/foo/foo.php on line 3 Functions available in the test extension:<br> Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/deep/php-4.3.10/ext/foo/foo.php on line 8 <br> Module foo is not compiled into PHP [deep@deepak-linux php-4.3.10]$ I tried in vain to look up the Web for solutions, but to no avail. Could anyone help me please? Thanks, Deepak -- N Deepak || http://www.ndeepak.info/
