Re: Calling all Windows users - which PHP extensions do you use?

Hi André, Ah, but you never mentioned exif :) Yes ext/exif requires mbstring, but ext/gd doesn't require exif... although built-in gd might be sensible, it'd be pretty crazy to build in mbstring (large library that not everybody uses) IMHO. All three are core extensions in PHP 5.2.0 anyway, so they'll all be made available from the word 'go', either built-in or as loadable DLLs. - Steph mbstring is usefull and i need it. Simple use: to convert from iso-8859-1 to utf-8 and vice-versa(and works for any other encoding). I use it on linux currently, as I do not use my app on windows, but others do.

Example: my php-gtk2 is configured to use utf-8 in php.ini, or any other charset for someone else. If I need read a file from disk and show it in a textview, I need convert it to utf-8 (or any other encoding that php-gtk is using). It is usefull if you need suport for any other encoding diferent from your os. And my sugestions: sqlite, bzip (or gzip), ftp, pspell I know, will be hard to find a set of extension that make all of us happy.
