Creating a class in a php extension

php.internals

I've just recently begun writing PHP extensions for the first time. Sara
Golemon's article on extension development has been a priceless resource for
me, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to define a
class, give it methods and properties etc within an extension. Is there any
documentation on this? If not, can someone point me in the right direction?


Thanks,

Buy the book: Extending and Embedding PHP by Sara Goleman.

It covers classes and a whole lot more. Required reading for anyone
developing PHP extensions.

Or/and read the sources. PHP or PECL are full of extensions
implementing classes :)

Hi Jordan,

next to the book, which is a good reading there are some lsides from
Marcus at talks.somabo.de (look for "Code Camp" or something like that)
which give an introduction, but well, slides are always made for being
explained during a talk :-)

Hi Jordan,

The extensions in ext/ and pecl/ (particularly the simple ones like
pecl/spread
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pecl/spread/php_spread.c?view=markup)
demonstrate the process.  I find http://lxr.php.net extremely useful for
quickly finding the connections in source code.
