Re: ZEND_* or PHP_* macros

Honestly? I don't think it matters at all for the most part. As you already noted, the PHP_ macros now are largely direct aliases to ZEND_ counterparts. However, I don't think this is a completely hard-and-fast rule either. In general, I've always looked at it as "PHP extensions" such as tidy, curl, etc. should use the PHP macros while "Zend Engine Extensions" such as an optimizer, debugger, etc. should be strictly ZEND_ macros.
