Perhaps for these extensions, it is best to not make it work with both versions, but instead have a 5.x version and a phpng version, and continue to maintain both separately? I wonder if that might actually be less work than trying to keep a single version working on both. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
