Hi,

Can anyone please clarify the difference between php opcode and php bytecode and tell how php processing work?

I mean just to draw a sequence like

php source text -> parsing -> tokens -> opcode -> php engine -> bytecode -> php engine interpretation -> machine code -> execution by hardware

Thanks,
