And no, I'm not expecting this to be in the release cut of PHP 5.0.0. ;-) > I would expect the first step would be checking your code against http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-src/CODING_STANDARDS to be sure that it is ready for import and provide a link to the source code of sapi/Mbedthis (or whatever you've called it) so that it can be evaluated by the PHP community at large. From there, concerns can be addressed as to the usability of your sapi and it's appropriateness for inclusion in the distribution.
On that note, since this sapi has a relatively small (as a percentage) applicability to PHP installations in general, I would wonder if the PECL repository could be adapted to hold SAPI implementations. To continue that thread, I've also wondered if PECL can be used for other PHP related add-ons which don't map to PHPAPI extensions. Such as a patch to add an additional opcode to the Zend lexer/parser, or implement operator overloading for objects (both items which I've applied effort to offline but have no expectation of seeing them included in the standard distribution). -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
