As available solutions didn't provide what I was looking for, I created a very experimental extension for the GLFW and OpenGL, 4 years ago. About a year ago, I picked it up again and decided to make a "real" extension out of the experiment, and I have been working on it ever since.

That looks interesting!  You should apply for a PECL account (you won't
need a php.net account) via <https://pecl.php.net/account-request.php>.

Note that there is already <https://pecl.php.net/package/opengl> (I
think this uses SDL instead of GLFW), but of course, that is no reason
not to have another OpenGL extension on PECL.
