Using Existing C++ classes ...

[aturshah]

Hi,

I have made database library (using ODBC API's in C++) and charting engine (for making charts on fly using gdchart library).
Our requirement is to use this existing libraries in PHP.

And this is possible by extending the PHP => making external module or build-in modules or Zend Engine.
I have following queries :

1. Is is possible to extend the php support using the existing C++ set of classes ?

2. If yes, Please let me know how could I get the details for extending existing C++ set of classes (API) to be used for extending PHP Support by making modules (external/build-in/Zend Engine)

3. I have gone through the Zend API Documentation and the samples given (e.g. first_module,etc).
   I have followed the steps as per the samples given :

4. ./ext_skel --extname=testing

5. cd ..

6. vi ext/testing/config.m4

   config.m4
   -----------
   PHP_ARG_ENABLE(testing, whether to enable testing support,
   dnl Make sure that the comment is aligned:
   [ --enable-testing Enable testing support])

   if test "$PHP_TESTING" != "no"; then
   PHP_EXTENSION(testing, $ext_shared)
   fi

7. ./buildconf

8. ./configure --enable-testing=yes

9. make

10. ./php -f ext/testing/testing.php

    output :

    Congratulations, you have successfully modified
    ext/testing/config.m4, module testing is compiled into PHP

11. Now Starting Apache web server :

    cd /usr/local/apache/bin/
    ./apachectl restart

    Message : ./apachectl restart: httpd restarted

9. I copied testing.php to => /usr/local/apache/htdocs/.

10. Now Opening the web browser : http://jaguar/testing.php gives this error :
    (jaguar is the machine on which apache is running, home page of apache is running.. checked.)

    Module testing is not compiled into PHP 
    
    
    I have not changed any other files in ext/testing/ folder.

    Please let me know the exact way to approach for this problem...
    Its really very urgent..Sorry for trouble..

    Thanks in advance.
