Some (many) headers - yes > Do I need to build PHP my self to get the lib files needed for linking No, php5ts.lib is in the php\dev folder of a standard .zip release. I suggest looking at some of the standard and example extensions that bundled with the source.

What do I need for this purpose? Is there anywhere a manual telling me what to do for this purpose? I'm using Visual Studio 2008. Must I get the source files from PHP 5.2.9 to do this? Do I need to build PHP my self to get the lib files needed for linking, or where do I get them from? If I must build PHP my self, where can I find instructions how to do that?
