Hi Contributors,

This week’s episode is out. Here’s the video, plus everywhere else it landed
for visibility.

Same invitation as always: if I got something wrong, reply in this thread and
I’ll make corrections. That includes how I’m pronouncing your names. Or if I mix two names together :stuck_out_tongue:

If you’d rather read than watch, the dev.to post carries the full episode as
an article, which also makes it the easiest version to quote when correcting
me: https://dev.to/projektgopher/this-week-in-php-internals-sept-17-2026-4nch

Hi Internals,

As I mentioned before, I am changing my approach to pull requests. Instead of rushing to submit them, I will prioritize thorough local verification and community feedback to ensure my contributions are high-quality and well-aligned with the project’s standards.

I was suggested to focus my contributions on the intl extension — and as a Persian speaker, I’m truly excited and honored to help improve internationalization support in php-src. As promised, I am committed to this path.

Currently, I am setting up a local C/C++ compilation and build environment on my laptop so I can thoroughly test, build, and verify everything locally first. This will ensure my future pull requests are clean, well-tested, and don’t waste anyone’s valuable time.

Once my build environment is fully set up, I look forward to designing and proposing my first contribution for the intl extension properly.

Best regards,
Sepehr
