HACKING

1. you can modify the generated code as with any other PHP extension

BUILDING ON UNIX etc.

To compile your new extension, you will have to execute the following steps:

1. $ ./phpize
2. $ ./configure
3. $ make
4. $ make test
5. $ [sudo] make install

BUILDING ON WINDOWS

No windows build is available at the moment

TESTING

You can now load the extension using a php.ini directive

extension="couchdb.so"

or load it at runtime using the dl() function

dl("couchdb.so");

The extension should now be available, you can test this using the extension_loaded() function:

if (extension_loaded("couchdb")) echo "couchdb loaded :)"; else echo "something is wrong :(";

The extension will also add its own block to the output of phpinfo();
