PHing Is Not GNU make; it's a project build system based on Apache Ant. You can do anything with it that you could do with a traditional build system like GNU make, and its use of simple XML build files and extensible PHP "task" classes make it an easy-to-use and highly flexible build framework. Features include file transformations (e.g. token replacement, XSLT transformation, Smarty template transformations), file system operations, interactive build support, SQL execution, CVS operations, tools for creating PEAR packages, and much more.
APC is a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code.
APCu is userland caching: APC stripped of opcode caching in preparation for the deployment of Zend OPcache as the primary solution to opcode caching in future versions of PHP. APCu has a revised and simplified codebase, by the time the PECL release is available, every part of APCu being used will have received review and where necessary or appropriate, changes. Simplifying and documenting the API of APCu completely removes the barrier to maintenance and development of APCu in the future, and additionally allows us to make optimizations not possible previously because of APC's inherent complexity. APCu only supports userland caching (and dumping) of variables, providing an upgrade path for the future. When O+ takes over, many will be tempted to use 3rd party solutions to userland caching, possibly even distributed solutions; this would be a grave error. The tried and tested APC codebase provides far superior support for local storage of PHP variables.
The php-pecl-jsonc module will add support for JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) serialization to PHP. This is a dropin alternative to standard PHP JSON extension which use the json-c library parser.
The Xdebug extension helps you debugging your script by providing a lot of valuable debug information. The debug information that Xdebug can provide includes the following: * stack and function traces in error messages with: o full parameter display for user defined functions o function name, file name and line indications o support for member functions * memory allocation * protection for infinite recursions Xdebug also provides: * profiling information for PHP scripts * code coverage analysis * capabilities to debug your scripts interactively with a debug client
