From what I know from my contacts with Midgard people, users will _still_ have to use modified PHP - since Midgrard requires modifications to Zend parser. If it was as simple as compiling PHP module, nobody would need to run modified PHP - just to compile .so and load it as an extension. Well, no in fact we found a workaround to the Zend parser modification.

Our module now runs on its own, it has what we call a pre-parser that translates the Midgard-specific syntax into plain PHP syntax. So it's actually loaded as a .so extension against the current PHP release. -- Best Regards, David Guerizec Free Software Developer Aurora R&D dguerizec@aurora-linux.com Midgard core developer http://www.midgard-project.org/ -- Best Regards, David Guerizec Free Software Developer Aurora R&D dguerizec@aurora-linux.com Midgard core developer http://www.midgard-project.org/
