# The PHP Interpreter
|
|
|
|
PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to
|
|
web development. Fast, flexible and pragmatic, PHP powers everything from your
|
|
blog to the most popular websites in the world. PHP is distributed under the PHP
|
|
License v3.01.

|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The PHP manual is available at [php.net/docs](https://php.net/docs).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Prebuilt packages and binaries
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt packages and binaries can be used to get up and running fast with PHP.
|
|
|
|
For Windows, the PHP binaries can be obtained from
|
|
[windows.php.net](https://windows.php.net). After extracting the archive the
|
|
`*.exe` files are ready to use.
|
|
|
|
For other systems, see the [installation chapter](https://php.net/install).
|
|
|
|
### Building PHP source code
|
|
|
|
*For Windows, see [Build your own PHP on Windows](https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2).*
|
|
|
|
PHP uses autotools on Unix systems to configure the build:
|
|
|
|
./buildconf
|
|
./configure [options]
|
|
|
|
*See `./configure -h` for configuration options.*
|
|
|
|
make [options]
|
|
|
|
*See `make -h` for make options.*
|
|
|
|
The `-j` option shall set the maximum number of jobs `make` can use for the
|
|
build:
|
|
|
|
make -j4
|
|
|
|
Shall run `make` with a maximum of 4 concurrent jobs: Generally the maximum
|
|
number of jobs should not exceed the number of cores available.
|
|
|
|
## Testing PHP source code
|
|
|
|
PHP ships with an extensive test suite, the command `make test` is used after
|
|
successful compilation of the sources to run this test suite.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to run tests using multiple cores by setting `-jN` in
|
|
`TEST_PHP_ARGS`:
|
|
|
|
make TEST_PHP_ARGS=-j4 test
|
|
|
|
Shall run `make test` with a maximum of 4 concurrent jobs: Generally the maximum
|
|
number of jobs should not exceed the number of cores available.
|
|
|
|
The [qa.php.net](https://qa.php.net) site provides more detailed info about
|
|
testing and quality assurance.
|
|
|
|
## Installing PHP built from source
|
|
|
|
After a successful build (and test), PHP may be installed with:
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Depending on your permissions and prefix, `make install` may need super user
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
## PHP extensions
|
|
|
|
Extensions provide additional functionality on top of PHP. PHP consists of many
|
|
essential bundled extensions. Additional extensions can be found in the PHP
|
|
Extension Community Library - [PECL](https://pecl.php.net).
|
|
|
|
## Contributing
|
|
|
|
The PHP source code is located in the Git repository at
|
|
[git.php.net](https://git.php.net). Contributions are most welcome by forking
|
|
the [GitHub mirror repository](https://github.com/php/php-src) and sending a
|
|
pull request.
|
|
|
|
Discussions are done on GitHub, but depending on the topic can also be relayed
|
|
to the official PHP developer mailing list internals@lists.php.net.
|
|
|
|
New features require an RFC and must be accepted by the developers. See
|
|
[Request for comments - RFC](https://wiki.php.net/rfc) and
|
|
[Voting on PHP features](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/voting) for more information
|
|
on the process.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes **do not** require an RFC but require a bug tracker ticket. Open a
|
|
ticket at [bugs.php.net](https://bugs.php.net) and reference the bug id using
|
|
`#NNNNNN`.

Fix #55371: get_magic_quotes_gpc() throws deprecation warning
|
|
|
|
After removing magic quotes, the get_magic_quotes_gpc function caused a
|
|
deprecated warning. get_magic_quotes_gpc can be used to detect the
|
|
magic_quotes behavior and therefore should not raise a warning at any time.
|
|
The patch removes this warning.
|
|
|
|
Pull requests are not merged directly on GitHub. All PRs will be pulled and
|
|
pushed through [git.php.net](https://git.php.net). See
|
|
[Git workflow](https://wiki.php.net/vcs/gitworkflow) for more details.
