Hello,
I found this too, Even with the documentation available at php.net for
the zend API (http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.php) I didn't find that
useful. Their doesn't seem to be any desent documentation for do it.
What I did find was a book at Amazon, "Building Custom PHP extensions"
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1411601882/ref=wl_it_dp/104-6578550-9671165?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I3S1F1WJP8ISP6&v=glance&colid=2JBEYS1FW6T6M)
which I have read a little, and it seems pretty good. I do however need
to get back into it, so I can create my extension.
I do agree that the documentation for creating extensions is pretty poor
for people who want to get started.
