pecl install sdl-beta

Download the source code and within the main directory run these commands:

phpize

./configure --with-sdl (or --with-sdl=) make make test sudo make install

Then add

extension=sdl.so

to your php.ini file.

We are working on the Windows build. Stay tuned.

The SDL extension mimics in almost every single aspect to the official C library, so until we write our own documentation, refer to the C counterpart.
