Hi all again, first thanks, for all the links.

I don't want to start with PHP development itself. I just want to be able to learn how to use the language best. For example, I can tell you quite good when to use what in java world, because I know how an object is being created. This helps me with writing performant code and with debugging. I want to getthat ability with PHP too. > This all will be compiled to Zend Opcodes which can be executed, cached > with APC, dumped by vld, ... > I hope I find the time to write the documentation around it, other than > that this code is absolutely useless :-) > > http://github.com/johannes/pasic Thanks for sharing this. However, I am not a skilled C developer nor do I know exactly what Opcodes are or even APC or vld. I really hoped that there is some kind of specification around. I also took a look at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/internals2.php but it helped me not too much. Its more about writing extensions to PHP. But I would like to understand how the object oriented features really work. I am afraid with my basic knowledge on C I have to dig very deep and need to compile everything myself on my Mac, which already gave me some headache.
