PEAR makes it easy to create shared PHP extensions. Using the
pear command, do the following:
That will download the source for extname, and
compile it on the system. This results in an
extname.so file that may then be included in php.ini
In case the systems preferred_state is set higher than
an available extname version, like it's set to stable
and the extension is still in beta, either alter the
preferred_state via pear config-set
or specify a specific version of the PECL extension. For example:
$ pear install extname-0.1.1 |
Regardless, pear will copy this extname.so into the
extensions directory. Adjust
php.ini accordingly.
