I was thinking that rather than linking against the recode library (and implicitly importing all symbols within it), we could instead dlopen() it, and use dlsym() to import only symbols we want. Looking at the recode extension, theres only a handful of entrypoints that need to be imported, so it should be a relatively easy task for someone familiar with the PHP API. -- Alastair D'Silva mob: 0413 485 733 Networking Consultant fax: 0413 181 661 New Millennium Networking web: http://www.newmillennium.net.au
