Re: How to link .so lib into a PHP Extension

Without seeing what your config.m4 currently looks like I can only offer general hints... The "simple" answer is: PHP_ADD_LIBRARY(hsbc,,HSBCEXT_SHARED_LIBADD) PHP_SUBST(HSBCEXT_SHARED_LIBADD) Which assumes that the library name is libhsbc and the extension name is hsbcext (replace as needed). In general you'll probably want checks for the libraries you're linking against, take a look at other modules which link external libraries: mysql (or nearly any DB extension), zlib, gd, bc, ssh2, oggvorbis, etc... -Sara ""Michael Pawlowsky"" <mikep@mi-consultants.com> wrote in message news:34689.192.168.5.50.1121564020.squirrel@www... > Hello, > > I am creating an extension to handle HASH encrytions for the HSBC > Cardholder Payment Interface.
