In addition, Linux distributions apply their own rules for adding extensions and even 'core' ones so that ini material for each is contained in it's own file. Windows is perhaps the only distribution that follows the convention of adding 'additional' extensions via the main .ini file, so it's only really beginners using windows that would be able to use these changes? Any Linux beginner is likely to be adding 'apache-phpx' and getting a working framework for that distribution? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
