Re: New Module

Well, so I'll try to port Crypto++ to my module, or make a new module out of it. First I'm adapting my php scripts to my new module. After that I'll begin to work on it, if anyone wants to join in, contact me. And where should I post my module to become public under PHP license in case anyone is interested?? regards, Keyser Soze ----- Original Message ----- From: <derick@php.net> To: "Joseph Tate" <jtate@mi-corporation.com> Cc: "Keyser Soze" <keysers@terra.com.br>; "Php-Dev List" <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 3:55 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] New Module On Tue, 5 Mar 2002, Joseph Tate wrote: > Well, J Smith has mentioned Crypto++.

IMO, if there will be an interface to crypto++ it should be merged into the current mcrypt one, forming together a new combined module. (Just like Sterling is trying to do for XSLT).
