Description

I'm not sure if it's a feature or a bug, but no attempt is made to build the php extension for Windows because it does not provide a config.w32

This extension is supposed (by Google documentation) to be available as a DLL file:

Could you please add this config file?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Create a config.w32 file for the protobuf PHP extension to enable building on Windows. Refer to PHP's PHP extension build documentation and existing config.w32 files in other PHP extensions as templates. Ensure the file sets the necessary compiler flags, links against the protobuf library, and specifies the extension sources.
