Actually PHP uses it's own license (which is different from GPL),
although you are right, by virtue of including the word 'php' in your
project name, you are ineligible to include any of the PHP source code
without breaking the license.

http://php.net/license/index.php

If you renamed your project to myLibMGr or something, you'd be fine to
include the PHP source code though.
