+5 Q:

php extension, how!!?

I need this library http://svn.arabeyes.org/viewvc/projects/itl/ports/php/. It is a php extension, and I want to know how I can use this.

Do I need to compile this, and if so, how can I compile it? I've never compiled anything .. I need it to work for both Windows and Linux.

+1 A:

Check out the README: http://svn.arabeyes.org/viewvc/projects/itl/ports/php/README?revision=11087&view=markup

Why not read the README?

libitl must be already be installed along with header files.

Download php source code and create directory $PHP_SRC_DIR/ext/itl and copy the files config.m4 itl.c php_itl.h and itl.php to it

Run the following commands cd $PHP_SRC_DIR/ext/itl phpize ./configure --with-itl=/path/to/libitl

The ITL functions can be enabled by compiling the php-itl extension and copying the resulting .so file to PHP's extension directory.

The steps described in the readme show how to compile the extension in Linux. The result is a .so file you can include in your PHP.ini. As for Windows, that's a different matter - I don't know how to produce it there. Maybe asking the project maintainers for ready-made Windows binaries helps.

I suggest you take a look at this section in the PHP manual. Specifically this section on compiling extensions with the phpize command.
