Re: Is it possible to override internal function?

Hi, the funxtions are stored in the EG(function_table) hash table. So you could delete or rename the mail function from there and add a new one. APD has an override_function() and a rename_function() which can be used to replace/rename a function by a user defined one. Maybe the code of these help you a bit. http://lxr.php.net/source/pecl/apd/php_apd.c#608 For this being successfull it's important that your extension is loaded after the standard extension. Even though this works I doubt that you can can rely on it. (stability, changing APIs, ...) johannes Piotr Roszatycki wrote: > I'd like to create PECL module which could replace mail() function.
