Your first PHP extension
summary
Shows how to write a PHP extension in rust end to end: sets up a reproducible dev env with the Nyx ecosystem and defense, uses Cargo with --lib flag, links the php rs / xphp crates to avoid raw engine glue, builds a HelloWorld and a real CSS minifier by calling lightning CSS from PHP, implements a PHP-visible Transformer class with constructor and config parsing, handles Rust Result errors and lifetimes, and demonstrates the extension compiling and running successfully.
