[snip] I think you make a valid point (my filter engine feels loved ;) .. I just wanted to make sure that this list was appropriate for the discussion of extensions that would never be 'released' to the general public, but were rather being developed in-house to solve and glue in-house systems. I realize that usually, in most places, data is stored and accessed through some sort of open standard system (SQL, LDAP, etc .. ) for which the development of extensions benifit us all, but there exists some places where data is still stored in binary files, accessed through an internally developed API. I was getting sick of the overhead of writing trivial tools in C for this data, so I figured I might as well develop an extension so I could get at the data through PHP. But this wouldn't benifit anyone else. Only me. :) So it isn't really the development of PHP in so far as the development of our software through the PHP API. Anyhow, maybe I'm over explaining. If I can discuss my problems here, then I'm happy. =)

I think the discussions would benefit everyone even if your code is in-house code. The end result will probably be more people understanding how to write extensions. Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
