Php Extension Error:

Question

I am trying to create php extension.

Here is the config.m4 file

PHP_ARG_ENABLE(hello, whether to enable Hello
World support,
[ --enable-hello   Enable Hello World support])
if test "$PHP_HELLO" = "yes"; then
  AC_DEFINE(HAVE_HELLO, 1, [Whether you have Hello World])
  PHP_NEW_EXTENSION(hello, hello.c, $ext_shared)
fi

Here is the php_hello.h file.

#ifndef PHP_HELLO_H
#define PHP_HELLO_H 1
#define PHP_HELLO_WORLD_VERSION "1.0"
#define PHP_HELLO_WORLD_EXTNAME "hello"

PHP_FUNCTION(hello_world);

extern zend_module_entry hello_module_entry;
#define phpext_hello_ptr &hello_module_entry

#endif

Here is the hello.c file

#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include "config.h"
#endif
#include "php.h"
#include "php_hello.h"

static function_entry hello_functions[] = {
    PHP_FE(hello_world, NULL)
    {NULL, NULL, NULL}
};

zend_module_entry hello_module_entry = {
#if ZEND_MODULE_API_NO >= 20010901
    STANDARD_MODULE_HEADER,
#endif
    PHP_HELLO_WORLD_EXTNAME,
    hello_functions,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL,
    NULL,
#if ZEND_MODULE_API_NO >= 20010901
    PHP_HELLO_WORLD_VERSION,
#endif
    STANDARD_MODULE_PROPERTIES
};

#ifdef COMPILE_DL_HELLO
ZEND_GET_MODULE(hello)
#endif

PHP_FUNCTION(hello_world)
{
    RETURN_STRING("Hello World", 1);
}

when I am building this using below commands-

$ phpize
$ ./configure --enable-hello
$ make

getting this error-

I am new to this, how do I solve this problem ?

Answer 1

I got the solution. In hello.c file, I am using function_entry which doesn't work for php 5.4 or above. Use zend_function_entry in place of function_entry.
