What's the steps to add an extension to PHP without recompling from source code in linux?

Question

I heard that PECL can do this job,

can someone provide a hello world demo?

What specifically are you trying to install? It's likely that the extension is available in your distro's package repository.

If you have PECL installed, it's this simple:

pecl install xdebug

Installing PEAR / PECL is best accomplished with your distributions packaging system.
