Thank you,

Hi Nug,

That is well known as PHP *Internals*. There is various ressources
that can help on that :

- The Official guides : http://www.php.net/manual/en/internals2.php
and https://wiki.php.net/
- PHP internal developers collaborative initiative :
http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/
- Nikita Popov's blog : http://nikic.github.io/

- Stackoverflow ;-)
