Great talk, very knowledgable speaker.
Slides could use some more work and it would help the people in the back to repeat the questions.

This presentation will present some of the inner workings, like teaching the truth about references. Additionally it will present basics of PHP's opcode, the internal representation of a script, and it's consequences for

Cool talk. The talker obviously knew a lot about the php engine. More detail would have been nice, but it was a good, well prepared talk!
I especially enjoyed the part about the "bytecode" stage and how references hurt performance.

Good introduction into PHP internals from a developers point of view. Not too technical, with enough information to know what to do when PHP seems to b0rk.

missed stuff like zvals, hashes etc, but this talk was easily umderstandable for non-C programmers as well.

Johannes had a great talk on the innards of PHP. He offered practical performance advise and things to avoid. I like his calm way of presenting difficult subjects and his openness to discussion.

The speaker was very knowledgable, but the talk did not go in depth enough for me.

a very good talk; I would love to see it in a 2-step approach: start from the simple things, but do touch at least one more advanced topic, so that even a more experienced developer can go with something new in the knowledge "luggage"
