I'd like to check out how the EG macro (I assume it's a macro) works. 
However, I cannot find it :(

Take a look in Zend/zend_globals_macros.h

Hi,

You might find http://lxr.php.net to be a useful tool to help with finding
definitions in the PHP code base.

Thank you very much. I did have a look for something like this, as I was 
sure I'd used it before.

Thanks again,
Mark.

Cheers, Felipe. It's funny that VS didn't find it when I searched the 
solution :S Stupid thing.

Thanks,
Mark.

grep is your friend, something like that grep -R "define EG("
/usr/include/php/Zend, it's a quite common issue you crossed

EG means executor_globals. This macro provides access to the value named
in the parameter.
If running without multi-thread support, it's just a call to the struct,
else it expands for accessing the one
for the current instance (via the hidden __tsrm parameter).

I did run a search with VS but funnily enough it returned no results.
