+# Allowed Bindings
+
+The extension limits the bindings that are generated by `bindgen` to a subset of the original bindings.
+Those bindings are defined in the `allowed_bindings.rs` file.
+
+Should you need to add more bindings, you can do so by defining them as a comma-separated list in the `EXT_PHP_RS_ALLOWED_BINDINGS` environment variable.
+
+This can be configured in your `.cargo/config.toml` file:
+
+```toml
+[env]
+EXT_PHP_RS_ALLOWED_BINDINGS = "php_foo,php_bar"
+```
+
+Your bindings should now appear in the `ext_php_rs::ffi` module.
+
+<div class="warning">
+Pay attention to the PHP version
+
+Be aware, that bindings that do not exist in the PHP version you are targeting will not be available.
+
+Some bindings may also change between PHP versions, so make sure to test your extension with all PHP versions you are targeting.
+</div>
+
+## Contributing
+
+If you think that a binding should be added to the allowed bindings, please open an issue or a pull request on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/davidcole1340/ext-php-rs) so that everyone can benefit from it.
