Subject: How does the interpreter work
From: grobmeier@gmail.com (Christian Grobmeier)

Hi all,

I would like to learn more about how the interpreter works, but I was
unable to find good documents on the web. Basically I am thinking on
something about allocation of variables, how does object creation work
and such stuff. Maybe something on the overall architecture of PHP
would be of interest too.

In java world there is the JVM specification, I hoped there is
something for PHP too.

Best regards and thanks for all help,
Christian
