Can someone clarify for me whether the POSIX extension is expected to work on any Windows variants? Thanks...
we can't use the "native" nt posix subsystem as the interoperation between posix and win32 subsystem isn't transparent, so you'll need to use a library which runs posix in the win32 subsystem (cygwin, mingw, ...). here could/will arise some serious issues as well, so i think a better approach would IMO be to create a win32 api interface (besides the .Net extension). daniel /*-- daniel beulshausen - daniel@php4win.de using php on windows? http://www.php4win.de
