The usual (and recommended) way is to build the extension as a separate
|
||||
dynamically loaded module (which is supported by all modern operating
|
||||
systems). You can then specify that this be loaded
|
||||
automatically in <tt>php.ini</tt> or load it explicitly for any script which
|
||||
needs it. As of version 5.3 of PHP, the <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php">dl()
|
||||
function</a> cannot be used and your only option is to
|
||||
add to the <tt>php.ini</tt> something like
|
||||
|
||||
extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/mymodule.so
|
||||
systems).

SWIG also generates a php module, which

attempts to do the <tt>dl()</tt> call for you:

But note that this doesn't work when running PHP through a webserver in PHP5.3

and later - you'll need to use <tt>extension</tt> in <tt>php.ini</tt> as

described above.

The PHP module which SWIG generates will also attempt to do the <tt>dl()</tt>

call for you if the extension isn't already loaded:

<div class="code"><pre>

include("example.php");

</pre></div>

|

This PHP module also defines the PHP classes for the wrapped API, so you'll
|
||||
almost certainly want to include it anyway.
