#28018 [Bgs->Opn]: Document PECL extensions, especially for Windows users

ID: 28018 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: Missing files Reported By: hendrik dot schmieder at jedox dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open -Bug Type: *General Issues +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-04-16 (dev) New Comment: PECL extensions such as ZIP are located in the PECL download, this is linked to on the main download page as "Collection of PECL modules for PHP 5.0.0". php_zip.dll exists in there as do all the other PECL files...there are a lot. Making this a documentation problem. EVERY extension that exists inside this Windows PECL download should be noted in the docs. For example the ZIP configure.xml should mention it. Also, the Windows extensions.xml should make reference to all of these too (or at least make some reference to it). To move beyond the PHP manual, downloads.php should let users know what PECL extensions are as many seem to be confused by this. install.txt should also mention it.
