<h2 class="title">Downloading PECL extensions</h2>
<p class="simpara">
There are several options for downloading PECL extensions, such as:
</p>
<ul class="itemizedlist">
<li class="listitem">
<span class="simpara">
The <em>pecl install extname</em> command downloads the
extensions code automatically, so in this case there is no need
for a separate download.
</span>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<span class="simpara">
<a href="http://pecl.php.net/" class="link external">» http://pecl.php.net/</a>
</span>
<span class="simpara">
The PECL web site contains information about the different extensions
that are offered by the PHP Development Team. The information available
here includes: ChangeLog, release notes, requirements and other similar
details.
</span>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<span class="simpara">
<em>pecl download extname</em>
</span>
<span class="simpara">
PECL extensions that have releases listed on the PECL web site are
available for download and installation using the <a href="http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.users.commandline.cli.php" class="link external">» pecl command</a>.
Specific revisions may also be specified.
</span>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<span class="simpara">
<acronym>SVN</acronym>
</span>
<span class="simpara">
Most PECL extensions also reside in <acronym>SVN</acronym>. A web-based view may
be seen at <a href="http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/" class="link external">» http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/</a>.
To download straight from <acronym>SVN</acronym>, the following
sequence of commands may be used:
</span>
<p class="para">
<div class="example-contents screen"><br />
$ svn checkout http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/extname/trunk extname<br />
</div>
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<span class="simpara">
Windows downloads
</span>
<span class="simpara">
At this time the PHP project does not compile Windows binaries for
PECL extensions. However, to compile PHP under Windows see the
chapter titled
<a href="install.windows.building.html" class="link">building PHP for Windows</a>.
