Building an extension on windows

Hi,

I'm told to build an PHP extension on windows to be used with PHP 5.2.9.
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?

Best wishes, Georg

http://wiki.firebirdsql.org/wiki/index.php?page=Compiling+PH P+on+Windows+so+we+can+use+with+Firebird

and it has links to source articles as well. 5.2.x is a little different
to the 5.3 build notes, but I've run both without too much trouble - on
the free VSExpress ;)
