ext/session complete and 2,429 Zend tests passing.

The 12 July 2026 snapshot brings phpr to 780 internal functions out of 2,143 and 2,429 passing Zend corpus tests. The most important number remains core standard-library coverage: 517 out of 654 functions, or 79%.

What ext/session includes

The implementation includes all 23 extension functions, SessionHandler and the three handler interfaces. The file handler reproduces permissions, sess_<id> naming, PHP serializers, lazy write and mtime-based garbage collection.

The official extension suite reaches 150 successful tests out of 229. The remaining tail is mostly trans-sid URL rewriting and the deprecated SID constant.

Why it matters for Symfony

Sessions were the clearest prerequisite for re-admitting 371 Tests/Session cases in Symfony HttpFoundation. The full suite now reaches 1,790 tests with 10 errors and 27 failures; without the Session subset, HttpFoundation remains at zero errors and 12 failures tied to tests launching a real php -S server.

Updated metrics

Next target

With event dispatcher and sessions available, the Symfony track moves to HttpKernel: the Request → Response cycle that brings a full framework bootstrap closer.
