All,
If I install PHP 5 and want to use a PECL extension, does that work the same as if I install PHP 4 and try to use the same extension?
One extension that I use a lot is 'memcache' from PECL:
http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache
When I view this site, I do not see any reference to the version of PHP which is required. Does it matter about PHP 5.0.5 vs PHP 5.1.2 etc? Can someone explain how PECL or PEAR works in order to distribute only compatible versions of code?
