Welcome to the php7extensions wiki!

Purpose and Motivation

I want to compose some concrete examples of PHP 7 extensions, some tools for their use, and ultimately an integration with my old "Unix/Linux Portable Programming Kit" (ULPPK) ... which definitely needs a better name since who does Unix anymore? (Linux is the Tao, the Way. Sorta kidding but I don't even have a Unix system anymore and don't intend to get one.)

ULPPK provides building blocks for implementing complex multi-process systems. I've used its components mostly in the development of device control applications which manage multiple interfaces. It might be fun to have a set of extensions which make it relatively easy to integrate such an application to a web front end. It would also compel a more "real worldy" set of examples.

Of course, my principle motivation is to learn how to work with PHP 7 internals. It would be great if my fumbling efforts were of use to others.
