About

• I want to learn how to create PHP Extensions from Scratch
• The amazing & prodigious @sgolemon is currently my mentor (see: https://twitter.com/7php/status/953722250116530176)
• This repo will serve as: my workbook & journal

My Objectives

• Get started with PHP Extensions
• Create a PHP 7 compatible wrapper for https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb - something similar to https://github.com/mpremus/lmdb-php

Questions For Later (After the initial training is done)

• Is there a different approach to create an extension for multi-process & multi-threaded?
• How to approach the creation of the php extension, so that it's both PHP 5.6+ & PHP 7+ compatible?

Observations

• Revisiting Macros would be an advantage:
