yeah, i think i've looked at every article on the web on the subject =) there's not a lot of info on the subject working with php5 so a lot of the artciles are dated.

i've learned a lot, especially since i am building on windows. there are a few more hoops to jump through to get everything to compile correctly, and most tutorials are written for *nix. even the ones ( as you linked to ) that are written for windows are lacking some major info for compiling php and custom extensions on windows.

it's fairly easy after you have all the information you need, .. it's just not all in one place.

i plan to write an article on how to make custom extensions and build on windows fairly soon, .. but now that i figured it out, i'm itching to write something useful.

i'm sure there's plenty of code examples in C on the net though.
