Re: Interest in Contributing

Hi, test cases are part of the PHP source tree on http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=summary http://php.net/git.php has some information to build PHP from a git checkout in the wiki there are https://wiki.php.net/vcs/gitfaq and https://wiki.php.net/vcs/gitworkflow which might be useful. Test cases are in the tests/ directory next to the area of code they relate to, tests are run calling make test after compiling PHP, running specific tests can be done by make test TESTS=path/to/tests/ An introduction to write tests is on http://qa.php.net/write-test.php I hope this helps, if anything is unclear don't hesitate to ask! We'd love getting help (and suggestions for improving the information)! If you want to have quick feedback etc. you might also join IRC #php.pecl on EFNet. The channel has quite a few regular attendees who can assist! johannes On Thu, 2013-05-02 at 21:06 -0600, Trevor Carlston wrote: > I would like to contribute to the PHP project.
