RE: [PHP-INSTALL] When is --enable-versioning required?

I just searched a few PHP BB2 sites and it seems that if anyone knows exactly what --enable-versioning does, they ain't tellin'. The most I have ever bee able to get out of the documentation is that versioning is for writing PHP extensions, which I don't, so I never pursued it further. Now my curiosity has been piqued. Particularly over the lack of clear documentation from the PHP committers. Mark >>> "Srivatsan Vijayasarathy" <sriv@intervolve.com> 13-Feb-06 16:17:55 PM >>> >>> Thanks!

Also, its confusing that the manual mentions that it is for PHP 3 only, whereas the PHP 4 download still has that configure option. In any case, I am hoping to get some answers from the Linux versioning reference.
