Re: PHP SWIG Bindings and Extension Development

I am not on my computer and speak from old memory but there is a two-step for Perl so I guess that may be for php too .

There does appear to be some older PHP 4 (PHP 8 is the current major version available) references in the Makefiles and configure file in `bindings/swig/package/` and a php4.m4 file. Attempting to run `make phpswig` (when you might run `make perlswig` according to the readme file in the swig directory) returns a "No rule to make target 'phpswig'.  Stop." error. I have made some attempts to replace `php4` with `php8`, but that changes nothing. Anyway, I am attempting to create (or revive) PHP bindings for the sword library and would love some direction on where/how to get started. I have practically no experience with c/c++ or make files or swig, but if someone could give me a shove in the right direction, I think I can figure it out.
