John Coggeshall on Compiling extensions for Zend Core

p. Fellow Zender, noted author and all around nice guy John Coggeshall has posted an interesting tutorial on his blog titled, “Compiling extensions for Zend Core”:http://blog.coggeshall.org/archives/347-Compiling-extensions-for-Zend-Core.html. It delivers exactly what you would expect from John, a thorough, step by-step explanation of the topic. Here’s a bit to whet your appetite.

bq. Over the past few months there has been an increasing amount of conversation about “Zend Core”:http://www.zend.com/en/products/core/, especially around how best to compile custom extensions for it. While Core does ship with a large list of extensions (which are all QA’d and supported by Zend) there are times when you would like to include non-official extensions from PECL for various reasons. Since there isn’t a great deal of documentation out there about how to do this I thought I’d write a quick tutorial.

p. If you are using “Zend Core”:http://www.zend.com/en/products/core/ and find yourself in need of an extension that is not supported, this is exactly what you’ve been googling for.
