I don't remember seeing a discussion on including Zip in core (perhaps I just missed it, but a quick search didn't turn it up). I think Zip is better suited as a PECL module. Tony mentioned another issue: the headache of maintaining PECL code between PHP versions. This is a valid point (and he can elaborate if he likes), but is a separate issue. IMO, core shouldn't grow for modules like this (and JSON -- but the JSON discussion certainly DID take place and the module seems tiny enough to be benign); the idea is to move non-essential modules OUT of the main distribution and into PECL, not the other way. -1 on Zip in 5.2.0 -1 on Zip in 5.2.1 S -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
