First review the Coding Standards guidelines available at:
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-src/CODING_STANDARDS

Checkout a copy of the PHP sources following the instructions available at:
http://www.php.net/anoncvs.php

If you're curious about what needs doing, you can find a list of open bug
reports at:
http://bugs.php.net

When you've finished making changes you can generate a patch by issuing the
command:
cvs diff

Send that patch to internals@lists.php.net (or better yet put it on a
webpage and link to it in your message) so that developers here can review
it, make comments, and apply it if appropriate.

After a few successful rounds of this you can apply for your own CVS account
at
http://www.php.net/cvs-php.php

Which, when authorized, will allow you to apply patches yourself.

P.S. - If you're not interrested in working on the core of PHP, you can also
develop your own extensions following the API documentation at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.php

To generate an extension module for inclusion in the PECL repository:
