How can one compile a PHP extension from source code?

To compile a PHP extension from source code, you will need to have the PHP development headers and tools installed on your system. You will also need to download the source code of the extension you want to compile. Once you have the necessary tools and source code, you can use the 'phpize' command to prepare the extension for compilation, followed by the 'configure', 'make', and 'make install' commands to compile and install the extension. ```bash cd /path/to/extension/source phpize ./configure make sudo make install ```
