PEAR makes it easy to create shared PHP extensions. Using the
pear command, do the following:
This will download the source for extname,
compile, and install extname.so into your extension_dir.
extname.so may then be loaded via php.ini
By default, the pear command will not install
packages that are marked with the alpha or
beta state. If no stable packages
are available, you may install a beta package using the
following command:
$ pear install extname-beta |
You may also install a specific version using this variant:
$ pear install extname-0.1 |
PECL for Windows users
