I don't see a reason for building basic extensions as shared... In the other way, SPL requires compiled-in XML library because if even I can get XML in shared extension then SPL will be without SimpleXMLIterator, etc. Should I consider spl with simplexml as basic extensions? I'd like to have very light php binary so it could be used as interpreter for system scripts. > I can't reproduce this on my readline-powered box and your link states "We > believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of > libedit" if not please report to the libedit guys or use readline. ;-) Still it is not fixed. The readline library is GPL and is not compatible with PHP license, so the libedit is the only choise. -- .''`. Piotr Roszatycki, Netia SA : :' : mailto:Piotr_Roszatycki@netia.net.pl .
