Bug #65948 [NEW]: extension and PHP API version mismatch

From: wzis at hotmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:extension and PHP API version mismatch Description: ------------ I developed a PHP extension and what to give it to users to use, but the strict version match limitation caused the extension can't be used by PHP versions that's different from the version I used to build the extension. I strongly recommend PHP developers to maintain the API compatibilities, at least within the same major version, such as version 5. At current stage, because the strict version matching requirement, it's impossible for us to develop an extension and for it to be usable for other people. That's too limited. Expected result: ---------------- The PHP API should maintain compatibility at least within same major version so that third party developed extension can work for any minor version within the same major version. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65948&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65948&r=mysqlcfg
