Having issues creating an php extension

Question

I try to make a custom php extension for code Encryption purposes,

I followed this tutorial to make an custom extension: How to make a PHP extension

i get this warning when compiling the extension:

WARNING
The following arguments is invalid, and therefore ignored:
 --enable-php-helloworld

i did all according to the tutorial, i build on windows.

what are possible things i do wrong.

I followed that section: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32575493/3103078

I replicated the code 1:1 (Os: Windows)

used commands:

phpize
configure --enable-php-helloworld
nmake
php -d extension=php_helloworld.so --re php_helloworld

Expected result:

>>>helloworld support

Actual Result:

>>>

reproduction:

mkdir php

The issue was not utilizing the php-src inside the sdk.

Also, on windows you need to use php-sdk-binary-tools, else it wont work when you compile it.

I'll do a tutorial on this soon.
