Howto: install phplua extension for PHP

Lua is an embeddable scripting language. If you are trying to embed it in PHP follow this instructions that may help you:

$ sudo apt-get install liblua5.1-0-dev 
$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/phplua.git src
$ cd src/
$ phpize
$ ./configure


At this point you are almost done, BUT please edit the file Makefile and change the line:

LUA_SHARED_LIBADD = -llua

by:

LUA_SHARED_LIBADD = -llua5.1

Then is time to finish cooking:

$ make
$ sudo make install

lua.ini

extension=lua.so

Almost done, do a test:

php test.php

$lua=new lua();
$lua->test="Hello World!\n";
$lua->evaluate("print(test)");
