Hacking the Core of PHP

Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.

Sometimes, PHP "as is" simply isn't enough. Although these cases are rare for the average user, professional applications will soon lead PHP to the edge of its capabilities, in terms of either speed or functionality. New functionality cannot always be implemented natively due to language restrictions and inconveniences that arise when having to carry around a huge library of default code appended to every single script, so another method needs to be found for overcoming these eventual lacks in PHP.

As soon as this point is reached, it's time to touch the heart of PHP and take a look at its core, the C code that makes PHP go.

Note: These docs are for PHP 4 (Zend Engine 1.0) and not PHP 5 (Zend Engine 2.0).  Read the various README files within the PHP source for a better (and up-to-date) understanding as the Zend API docs aren't actively maintained.  See also PECL_Gen. add a note
