Britanised edition of PHP

Her Majesty's PHP Interpreter

This is the britanised fork of the official PHP Interpreter located at http://git.php.net. I am looking for people who would like to help me britanising keywords.

Pull Requests

I accept pull requests via github. Discussions are done on github.

How to change keywords

They are located in the following file: Zend/zend_language_scanner.l
Inside this file you might want to look for line with the following comment /* compute yyleng before each rule */

Shortly after this comment you'll find a lot of keyword definitions like the following

<ST_IN_SCRIPTING>"exit" {
	RETURN_TOKEN(T_EXIT);
}

Perhaps you want to Britanise the exit keyword to say abandon ? First thing to would be to change the line that says:

<ST_IN_SCRIPTING>"exit" {

To:

<ST_IN_SCRIPTING>"abandon" {

Then if you want to be able to compile phar.php you might want to navigate to ext/phar and look for files called

• build_precommand.php
• phar/clicommand.inc
• phar/directorygraphiterator.inc
• phar/directorytreeiterator.inc
• phar/invertedregexiterator.inc
• phar/phar.inc
• phar/phar.inc
• phar/pharcommand.inc

And change their contents to match the change. For example if there are any exit keywords within the code, you'll want to change then to abandon or you wont be able to finish compilation.

COMPILING

1. Run ./buildconf
2. Run ./configure --prefix <where_to_install_php>
3. Run make
4. Run make install

That's it.
Just a note that the first call to make can take a lot of time.
