💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

phpize is a shell script to prepare PHP extension for compiling.

no cap, that's literally what it does. it's a shell script, it prepares a PHP extension so it can be compiled. if you've ever cloned an extension's source and thought "okay now what 😭", this is the now-what. it sets up all the scaffolding so the build tooling can actually do its thing 🧚

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --clean — Remove all created files. like, all of them. it's the "nvm delete the whole thing" button, but for the files phpize made 🧹
• --help — Prints usage information. whenever you're lost, this is your emotional support flag 🫶
• --version, -v — Prints API version information. curious what API version we're on? this tells you, and yes both the long and short form do the exact same thing ✨
