I am looking for a good place to learn about the following:
1. Writing a customized extension
2. Compiling PHP with customized extensions, including how can I set up
a customized location their code and what I should add to the configure
line and such

Any good tutorials out there?

Thanks.

i would check out Sara Golemon's book Extending and Embedding PHP
it is not yet released but due out soon.  I have it pre-ordered.

It's supposed to be a good starting point for this stuff.

After that, download the php source and look at existing extensions in
the ext directory. For each macro or function you want to know about
try googling with the 'site:' directive. For example:

site:http://www.zend.com/ RETURN_STRING

Hi Yoav,

four chapters with example about writing extensions and SAPIs, useful as an
introduction:
