I followed instructions exactly as ext_skel told. I modified config.m4 only in the PHP_ARG_ENABLE() lines. I ran buildconf, configure --with-foo, make and then ./sapi/cli/php -f ext/foo/foo.php. To get this error: [deep@deepak-linux php-4.3.10]$ ./sapi/cli/php -f ext/foo/nscli.php 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/nscli.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/nscli.php on line 8 <br> Module foo is not compiled into PHP [deep@deepak-linux php-4.3.10]$ Could someone please help me?
