We already have lots of options for PHP d/ls which is already confusing enough.

It was decided also to provide tar.gz with the argument, that most windows users can handle .tar.gz (common tools like winzip, et.al). Therefore it would be nice to provide the binary builds as .zip and tar.gz Friedhelm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-26 18:30:24] derick@php.net Most windows users are not acquinted with .tar.gz or .tar.bz2, so .zip is just fine. Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-26 12:52:13] holliwell at gmx dot net hi, it would be nice if you could also offer tar.bz2 or/and tar.gz packages of the (main) windows releases of PHP. Currently "only" .zip is offered, but better compression would help anyone :-) Friedhelm Betz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18599&edit=1
