Hello, I am presently trying to figure out the ZEND API, but am 
being thrown off a bit by some of the abbreviations. 

Is there any documentation out there that explains what the abbreviations 
mean? 

For example

TSRMLS_*

Also how would one go about getting the value of a user defined variable 
in the current symbol table. 


Cheers, 


Ken
