Re: Nuking php4/dl

Andi, Why is DL no longer working? I noticed that the 3.0 code was UNIX only but that it is simple fix to make it support DLLs aw well. The reason that I ask is that I have made the IBM ICU (International Components for Unicode) package a combined Apache module and a PHP3 extension. Because of the size of ICU I had to cheat and make this a special class of PHP module. It is an almost resident module. It gets loaded before the resident modules are initialized and it provides a table of internal functions as well, Currently I do not support PHP CGI or non-Apache versions. My next version will be more universal. I am finishing the work on the Apache module mod_xicu to add its locale/character set handler to directly override the Apache mod_mime so that I can eliminate my mod_php changes. This will have an added benefit because PHP will have its per_directory and directory merge exits called as it was originally designed. ICU is a truly heavy weight i18n package supporting over 80 locales. My module provides collated compares with 4 degrees of strength, string convert to lower, upper and title case, date/time and number converters. code and utf-8 converters. It also has under the cover functions for other applications such as Unicode (utf-16) support. I am discussing this in the i18n section but will probably first upgrade the mod_xicu from ICU 1.4 to 1.5 first. There are some release differences that might make my mime extensions much easier. In any case it will package very differently. Carl "Andi Gutmans" <andi@zend.com> wrote in message news:4.2.0.58.20000610205139.00ba1b60@127.0.0.1... > Guys, > > How about nuking php4/dl?
