Joey, Just for arguments sake, let's say GD is moved out of the PHP distribution and converted into a PEAR package. This package will have a version, and access to that information is all you need. The question is of course how many of the currently bundled extensions that should be "de-bundled" like this. IMHO, there is an increasing number that should be. - Stig On Tue, 5 Dec 2000, Joey Smith wrote: | OK, now I am *really* lost. | The original discussion was regarding having PHP "modules" (sybase-ct, | gd, etc) contain their own "versions", and ways to access this | version.
