php extensions

[chris berg]

hello.
i have reviewed the documentation on writing php extenstions at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.php, but i am left with a question.

i have seen the defined RETURN_* and RETVAL_* macros and have used them successfully,
but i am curious about how to return an array (specifically an array of strings) from
a function. RETURN_STRING does not seem to work.

for example, the builtin 'stat' function returns an array of values. i am looking to
implement a similar function.
Thank you.

have a look at php-4.3.1/ext/standard/file.c from the php source.
the function on line 1922 "(PHP_NAMED_FUNCTION(php_if_fstat)" is
a good example.
