I guess adding a variable like HTTP_POST_DATA would be correct if it's not application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The other alternative would be to make PHP "parse" the application-specific data like it would parse the normal POST data and make a variable like HTTP_FDF_DATA. HTTP_POST_DATA can be useful anyway, I have at least one application where it would have made my life easier. My only worry is memory use for huge file uploads and such. > The intergration of the module itself is fairly easy except for some > small problems due to my inexperience. > > One of them is: > The FDF Tookit requires on Unix systems to call FDFInitialize() and > FDFFinalize() before and after any other functions from the toolkit > can be called.

In your module entry structure, there is room for startup/shutdown functions for the module as well as each request. Example: php3_module_entry xml_module_entry = { "XML", /* extension name */ xml_functions, /* extension function list */ php3_minit_xml, /* extension-wide startup function */ php3_mshutdown_xml, /* extension-wide shutdown function */ php3_rinit_xml, /* per-request startup function */ php3_rshutdown_xml, /* per-request shutdown function */ php3_info_xml, /* information function */ STANDARD_MODULE_PROPERTIES }; You can look at almost any extension for examples. - Stig -- Stig S.
