We have many examples of configure checks that drive #ifdef'ed code to take care of minor differences between versions of a library. Are the changes really so significant that we can't do this cleanly here?The changes are not extreemly significant. I am working on it to create a diff from the info I got from another. Also within the NET-SNMP package the attempt is started to do better namespace protection. This will cause also various functions have their name changed (currently mainly structure type). However, if SNMPv3 support is added the functions of the PHP language change significant due to many extra options. Currently SNMPv3 is full standard and SNMPv1 is historic within the IETF. This reases the question whether the PHP langauge may be changed?? Or do we need to add the SNMPv3 functionality with an snmpv3 prefix instead of the snmp prefix.

It does not work. I was willing to fix this problem, however, I beleive it could cause backwards compatibility problems if the UCD-SNMP must be kept. the options are (as i recognise), 1) drop UCD-SNMP support since the NET-SNMP is just the name changeplus many other good features.2) Make sure both work with IFDEF's. 3) Add an extra SNMP portion that works with NET-SNMP. Personnally I think 1 would be the best choice, but I have also created once an SNMPv3 extension for PHP with SNMP and therefore 3 could be choosen and have then the new SNMPv3 features. What do others think??
