   8 There will surely be the time where you find a bug in PHP, but prior
   9 submitting half hearted bug report make sure you've accomplished the following
  10 things:
  11
  12   * [search the bug tracker](http://bugs.php.net/search.php) if the bug has already been subbmitted
  13   * put together a short and behaviour reproducing script
  14   * verify the behaviour with the **latest** version AKA [snap](http://snaps.php.net) of PHP
  15   * if PHP crashes, [generate a backtrace](http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php)
  16
  17 If you're in doubt, read [this](http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php) if you
  18 didn't already (which you shouldn't tell anyone by the way).
