I have been a php developer for some time and I got certified beginning of this year. I have always wanted to start contributing to php and zend framework, but I am unable to find the right docs, examples, and the "how". I know it might be a simple task, but I appreciate your support as I really want to contribute some good stuff to the php community. Appreciate if someone can share a reported bug, how he traced its location and how he got it fixed. Many thanks, Ziad --- ## #61157 — Marco Pivetta — 2012-07-12T07:41:10+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/61156#61157 · In reply to: #61156 Hi there! Please note that this is the "internals" mailing list, and developing PHP internals is mainly a question of C programming language. If you want to get started with some framework you've been using, I can only suggest you to get in touch with the existing core developers responsible for those libraries, and that usually happens through IRC networks.

There are no huge amount of docs about how to contribute, that's missing :) > I know it might be a simple task, but I appreciate your support as I really want to contribute some good stuff to the php community. > Appreciate if someone can share a reported bug, how he traced its location and how he got it fixed. About getting back trace, here are two docs: https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php https://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php There are other tools like strace, valgrind, see the README in the php-src and php-src/Zend for more infos, at least for valgrind. Once you have a patch, it is easy to contribute using a pull request on github or posting the patch using our bug tracker. While I would recommend to always have a bug report associated with a patch or a pull request. You can fetch a bug and try to fix it, see http://bugs.php.net.
