[PHP-DEV] Re: new database extension

using ODBC. However, I'm not exactly sure where to start and wanted to
look at those specific extensions. Can someone tell me where I might
find this within the PHP source?

Hello Jacob,

I recommend you to do 3 things: check the php manual on the "Extending PHP"
part, check the ext/ dir to look at how other modules are written, and check
then Zend/ dir for available macros.

Hope this helps.

Well, this definately is plainly a choice. One of PHP's "goals" is to be
very easy to learn. Many people programming PHP have never ever programmed
before. For them, it is VERY easy to learn, because these kind of things
(variable declaration) are not dealt with.

[PHP-DEV] Quick array question

[Leon Mergen]

Hello there,

A quick question - is there some sort of macro available where I can convert
a PHP array with numeric elements (array ("foo","bar","wombat"); for
example) to the standard C type of array (which you can access with var[10])
?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Leon Mergen

Being a complete newbie at extending PHP (I started yesterday as we speak) ,
I must say that that first function helped me a lot. It gave me a general
idea how the things worked, and also how argument passing works.

And, like you stated, I think it would be a great idea to demonstrate all
major functions that people use...

Just my $0.02 worth

Okay, many thanks for the fast response!

[PHP-DEV] " too few arguments to function `call_user_function_ex'"

[Leon Mergen]

Hello,

Tought this was the best newsgroup to post to, since I'm developing an
in-house only additional PHP module.

Anyway, I want to call a user function from a function in my module... so I
should use call_user_function_ex . Well, I tried the example on the website,
and it gives me the error:

antrophia.c: In function `zif_antrophia_msgincrease':
antrophia.c:147: too few arguments to function `call_user_function_ex'


I have pasted the source of that function below... anyone has any idea what
I am doing wrong? (and again, I am sorry if this is the wrong group)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Leon Mergen
