Hi all,
I'm applying for one of PHP's Google Summer of Code projects. The ideas
page (http://www.php.net/ideas.php) includes this text: "If you are
applying for a project in the PHP code itself (in C), you may find
useful the PHP hackers guide, which also includes our C coding standards
(TBD)." Does this hackers guide exist? I don't see it anywhere in the
documentation. Is this just a reference to the readmes included in the
source code? I did find the coding standards there, but I'm curious if
there's more info somewhere else.
Some handy resources:
Websites:
* http://www.php.net/zend
Official documentation. Not as well maintained as the userspace
portions of the manual, but still very useful.
* http://www.zend.com/php/internals
Walthrough driven, focuses on extension development, but includes some
"general internals" information in places.
Books:
* Extending and Embedding PHP (ISBN: 067232704X)
Expanded version of http://www.zend.com/php/internals , Covers more of
the sticky bits of navigating the PHPAPI.
* Advanced PHP Programming (ISBN: 0672325616)
Primarily aimed at userspace development, but it has a large section on
extension development and working with the APIs exposed by PHP.
Disclaimer: I wrote zend.com/php/internals Ext/Embed PHP, so take these
recommendations with the grain of salt that they /are/ biased.
And of course, there's always this mailing list and pecl-dev.
