I agree. It doesn’t sound like a super easy tweak.

I want to add array slice syntax like Python (list[1:2]),
but I found it’s too hard for me.

Your question is more related to extending PHP than hacking the Zend engine. Function “strpos” is part of the standard extension and is defined in “ext/standard/string.c” – grep for “PHP_FUNCTION(strpos)”. In this case I would rather create a new extension, define the “string_position” wrapper and call “php_strpos” from there. Extending PHP is quite well explained at Zend Devzone. Google for “writing php extension”, there are few good articles. You can also find many examples in the “ext/” directory and on the PECL. I hope that answers your question.
