I want to access some of the more obscure OpenSSL functions (about 20) from PHP and would like to contribute what I need access to from OpenSSL in PHP back to the community.
To that end, I've downloaded the source code for PHP 5.2.0 and started looking at the C source for the OpenSSL portion to how the functions are implemented. My dev platform is Windows and VS.NET 2003 (armed, of course, with Visual Assist X). Since this is my first contribution to any open source project (source code-wise), I will probably need some hand holding (e.g. help with CVS stuff, first build in my preferred dev environment (VC++ GUI), and properly using 'diff'/'patch' when I'm done). However, I am an expert C/C++ programmer, so there's not much to worry about there - but I do need to know where the official documentation is for functions like zend_parse_parameters() and what in the world TSRMLS_CC is (a macro, obviously, but what it is good for and its historical significance is usually lost in documentation). I think that's all I need to know. The rest I can handle on my own. And web links to the right portions of the manual (i.e. RTMs) are fine - I know how to read once I get the right page. Finding the page is the tricky part. (And I'm willing to document undocumented functions as I go along too). -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 http://www.CubicleSoft.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
