Does "executing" include "compilation"?

Use the source. ;-) A bit more seriously: No, there's no good single place to look at, there are different blogs etc looking at specific pieces in detail, but the best thing to do is looking at the code (the filenames in Zend/ give a good idea what they are for ...), take a question and time and start digging. For some things it's also good to look into xdebug, vld, runkit, ... and see where they hook in to do their magic. And well, the path from main() in sapi/cli/php_cli.c to execute() is not that long, what then happens is a bit more complicated though (while then again, once you're in, quite easy for most parts, too) johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
