initially the idea was to use getopt on windows machines. After proposing my patch which just includes the NetBSD getopt(), there was a recommandation in php.pecl to use the php_getopt instead of the system provided getopt to implement the PHP_FUNCTION(getopt). This imho makes sense. We got windows support as well as long parameter support. As we use it in ext/standard/basic_functions.c we have to move the getopt.c out of sapi/cli. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
