Thanks!

Oh interesting, I did not know about it. Could you just tell me how you manage to get it? I can't find any information on it

Hm actually I think I added this guard because of humbug/file_get_contents#23, but this guard doesn't seem to be enough and I'm actually not sure if very useful here. After checking a couple of other projects, I only see Composer with a similar guard.

Any recommendations @kelunik?

Composer should also allow phpdbg, we also allowed embed in Aerys some time ago, but I'm not even sure what embed is.

I suppose it won't hurt to add embed then, but I'm still curious as to what it corresponds @feamsr00?

[feamsr00]

Indeed. Generally speaking if you compile the PHP\ZE into another program (so you could, say, use PHP as a script host) PHP will report as running in a embed SAPI. This makes it more useful in admittedly rather esoteric scenarios, but if the cost of support is 'embed'==PHP_SAPI, why not do it. Make sense?

[theofidry]

I see. No harm adding it then :)
