修改一下文章，之前没说明问题。
主要说明一下PHP的执行过程，涉及到函数执行流程，PHP 的函数让PHP强大的特点之一，暂时不讨论类。PHP 的作用域控制只有两处，函数和类，在实际中感觉函数控制作用域的概念更多一点。
函数分为用户自定义函数，和内部函数。内部函数是php用C 或者是C++编写，这里分析的时候，不会涉及到作用域的切换，在模块初始化的时候就会加载到全局的函数表中EG(function_table)。
内部函数，用户自定义函数，op_array 三者的数据结构如下所示：

struct _zend_op_array { /* Common elements */ zend_uchar type; char *function_name; zend_class_entry *scope; zend_uint fn_flags; union _zend_function *prototype; zend_uint num_args; zend_uint required_num_args; zend_arg_info *arg_info; zend_bool pass_rest_by_reference; unsigned char return_reference; /* END of common elements */ zend_bool done_pass_two; zend_uint *refcount; zend_op *opcodes; zend_uint last, size; zend_compiled_variable *vars; int last_var, size_var; zend_uint T; zend_brk_cont_element *brk_cont_array; int last_brk_cont; int current_brk_cont; zend_try_catch_element *try_catch_array; int last_try_catch; /* static variables support */ HashTable *static_variables; zend_op *start_op; int backpatch_count; zend_uint this_var; char *filename; zend_uint line_start; zend_uint line_end; char *doc_comment; zend_uint doc_comment_len; zend_uint early_binding; /* the linked list of delayed declarations */ void *reserved[ZEND_MAX_RESERVED_RESOURCES];};typedef struct _zend_internal_function { /* Common elements */ zend_uchar type; char * function_name; zend_class_entry *scope; zend_uint fn_flags; union _zend_function *prototype; zend_uint num_args; zend_uint required_num_args; zend_arg_info *arg_info; zend_bool pass_rest_by_reference; unsigned char return_reference; /* END of common elements */ void (*handler)(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAMETERS); struct _zend_module_entry *module;} zend_internal_function;typedef union _zend_function { zend_uchar type; /* MUST be the first element of this struct! */ struct { zend_uchar type; /* never used */ char *function_name; zend_class_entry *scope; zend_uint fn_flags; union _zend_function *prototype; zend_uint num_args; zend_uint required_num_args; zend_arg_info *arg_info; zend_bool pass_rest_by_reference; unsigned char return_reference; } common; zend_op_array op_array; zend_internal_function internal_function;} zend_function;typedef struct _zend_function_state { zend_function *function; void **arguments;} zend_function_state这三个数据结构之间可以相互转换，我在上面也列出了一个_zend_function_state 的数据结构，会讲op_array 中的 function 赋值给执行数据_zend_execute_data 的function_state字段的 function，从而将普通代码中切入一个函数，对于作用域的切换稍后说明。
在excute 执行过程中，有EX(function_state).function = (zend_function *) op_array;可以说明一切。
一个重要的数据结构：
struct _zend_execute_data { struct _zend_op *opline; zend_function_state function_state; zend_function *fbc; /* Function Being Called */ zend_class_entry *called_scope; zend_op_array *op_array; zval *object; union _temp_variable *Ts; zval ***CVs; HashTable *symbol_table; struct _zend_execute_data *prev_execute_data; zval *old_error_reporting; zend_bool nested; zval **original_return_value; zend_class_entry *current_scope; zend_class_entry *current_called_scope; zval *current_this; zval *current_object; struct _zend_op *call_opline;}用于保存执行期间的数据，在作用域切换的时候起至关重要的作用。
ZEND_API void execute(zend_op_array *op_array TSRMLS_DC){ zend_execute_data *execute_data; zend_bool nested = 0; zend_bool original_in_execution = EG(in_execution); if (EG(exception)) { return; } EG(in_execution) = 1;zend_vm_enter: /* Initialize execute_data */ execute_data = (zend_execute_data *)zend_vm_stack_alloc( ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(zend_execute_data)) + ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(zval**) * op_array->last_var * (EG(active_symbol_table) ? 1 : 2)) + ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(temp_variable)) * op_array->T TSRMLS_CC); EX(CVs) = (zval***)((char*)execute_data + ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(zend_execute_data))); memset(EX(CVs), 0, sizeof(zval**) * op_array->last_var); EX(Ts) = (temp_variable *)(((char*)EX(CVs)) + ZEND_MM_ALIGNED_SIZE(sizeof(zval**) * op_array->last_var * (EG(active_symbol_table) ? 1 : 2))); EX(fbc) = NULL; EX(called_scope) = NULL; EX(object) = NULL; EX(old_error_reporting) = NULL; EX(op_array) = op_array; EX(symbol_table) = EG(active_symbol_table); EX(prev_execute_data) = EG(current_execute_data); EG(current_execute_data) = execute_data; EX(nested) = nested; nested = 1; if (op_array->start_op) { ZEND_VM_SET_OPCODE(op_array->start_op); } else { ZEND_VM_SET_OPCODE(op_array->opcodes); } if (op_array->this_var != -1 && EG(This)) { Z_ADDREF_P(EG(This)); /* For $this pointer */ if (!EG(active_symbol_table)) { EX(CVs)[op_array->this_var] = (zval**)EX(CVs) + (op_array->last_var + op_array->this_var); *EX(CVs)[op_array->this_var] = EG(This); } else { if (zend_hash_add(EG(active_symbol_table), "this", sizeof("this"), &EG(This), sizeof(zval *), (void**)&EX(CVs)[op_array->this_var])==FAILURE) { Z_DELREF_P(EG(This)); } } } EG(opline_ptr) = &EX(opline); EX(function_state).function = (zend_function *) op_array; EX(function_state).arguments = NULL; while (1) { int ret;#ifdef ZEND_WIN32 if (EG(timed_out)) { zend_timeout(0); }#endif if ((ret = EX(opline)->handler(execute_data TSRMLS_CC)) > 0) { switch (ret) { case 1: EG(in_execution) = original_in_execution; return; case 2: op_array = EG(active_op_array); goto zend_vm_enter; case 3: execute_data = EG(current_execute_data); default: break; } } } zend_error_noreturn(E_ERROR, "Arrived at end of main loop which shouldn't happen");}执行期间 有EX(prev_execute_data) = EG(current_execute_data);会保存一下现场，
然后EG(current_execute_data) = execute_data;
当执行到函数的op_array时，EG(active_op_array) = &EX(function_state).function->op_array;
会执行到
case 2:
op_array = EG(active_op_array);
goto zend_vm_enter;
当函数将要执行完毕或者返回的时候，可以主动调用return 或者PHP 会自动放回一个NULL,然后是zend_do_return 生成 ZEND_RETURN的opcode ,根据类型不同会调用几个不同的函数，但总之会调用一个名为zend_leave_helper_SPEC 的函数，其中：
EG(current_execute_data) = EX(prev_execute_data);会将返回以前的场景，保证回到执行函数以前的作用域。
个人觉得关键的是以上的一些数据结构，以及相互之间的联系。
