Following files are still not "converted" to the new parameter parsing API: - ext/interbase/ibase_blobs.c - ext/interbase/ibase_query.c - ext/mysql/php_mysql.c - ext/mysqli/mysqli_embedded.c I guess, patch for those still sits on someones ToDo list Can we have this converted before alpha3, please? -- Alexey Zakhlestin http://blog.milkfarmsoft.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
