Were you actually trying to dl() the library in your PHP code? If you compiled the extension into PHP this shouldn't be necessary. In fact, unless you build an extension to be a DSO you shouldn't be able to use dl() with that extension anyways! This is actually my first venture to PHP extensions. I am trying to

write a simple C function, which prints 'hello world', as a PHP extension. I defined a helloworld.proto as: int helloworld() prints hello, world executed ext_skel, and followed the remaining steps that it showed on-screen, including editing config.m4.

I'm sorry my previous mail appeared twice - I was confused by a majordomo reply saying 'Commands not understood'. Thanks, Deepak -- N Deepak || http://www.ndeepak.info/
