Re: Who controls PHP?

Hello, Zend in no way dictates PHP, they are simply a major player in it's development and are just as important as the PHP community. Zend develops much of the core extensions for PHP but at the same time, they do not own or even run.

Hi, Please, can someone shed a little light on this subject: who controls PHP? How much Zend has the power to say what goes into PHP and what not? How much does the "community" actually have power? For example, there are practical reasons why one should be concerned about this: PHP doesn't have an opcode compiler/loader built in. I find this quite frustrating to have to use some additional software to do that, which for example Java and Python has built-in. Please, tell me that Zend is not the dictator here.
