runtime properties:

- PHP version (``PHP_VERSION``)
- Thread-safety (``PHP_ZTS``)
- Thread safety (``PHP_ZTS``)

In addition to the aforementioned constants, these properties can also be
inferred from :php:`phpinfo() <phpinfo>`. If your system has multiple PHP
runtimes installed, double-check that you are examining the ``phpinfo()`` output
for the correct environment.

The aforementioned ``detect-extension`` script can also be used to determine the
appropriate DLL for your PHP environment.
