The following describes the use of phpize by installing socket extensions:

1. Find your php installation directory. For example, if my directory is home/vsrank/php, find bin/phpize. If you do not have this tool, it indicates that the tool is not installed. You need to install php. dev, which is usually available.

2. for extension, you need a php source package that is the same as that of the currently installed php version. You can use phpinfo () to view the current php version. It is the test. php that checks whether the installation is successful after the first installation.

3. open source package directory, enter the ext directory, for example, I will enter:/home/vsrank/php-5.3.10/ext, ext under each php with the extension module, go to ext/sockets.

4. After cd to ext/sockets, run the following command:

/home/vsrank/php/bin/phpize

5. Now you can configure it through configure and execute the following command:

./configure --enable-sockets --with-php-config=/home/vsrank/php/bin/php-configmakemake install

After execution, the following output is displayed:

Installing shared extensions:     /home/vsrank/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/Installing header files:          /home/vsrank/php/include/php/

The first is the directory generated by the extension module. You can see the corresponding sockets. so file under the corresponding directory.

6. Change php. ini and add the following statement:

extension="/home/vsrank/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/sockets.so"

Note: during the first installation of the extension, the following error occurs during make:
