## Useful for

- Test your own PHP server for the vulnerability in an isolated Docker lab
- Select the build profile and offsets for a specific PHP version
- Assess mod_php deployment exposure before patching

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-23 (UTC), 11:50–13:16: 124 → 126 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +24 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 126 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #198.
- About 20 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @KhanhNguyen9872 (660 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 38
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 45 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 3 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
