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.
