Answer 1

In windows compile script design to compile php itself and should add your extension to compile with php ...

On Windows, you don't call phpize but instead you call buildconf.bat.

Open a Visual Studio developer command prompt (either 64 or 32 bit), and run

cd C:\php-src buildconf.bat --add-modules-dir=C:\MyPhpExtensions buildconf.bat will scan each subfolder of C:\MyPhpExtensions looking for config.w32 files.

It will then generate a configure.bat.

Answer 2

It's hard to build PHP extensions on Windows yourself.: You need a PHP build environment on Windows, which means you need Visual Studio and some other things. See http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.building.php for more information.

It's probably the easiest way to simply use Linux (or a Linux Virtual Machine), or get a pre-built .dll file form someone else.
