Also @Antony Dovgal in the "let blocks" thread Short answer: No. The reason I posted my suggestions on this list was that a while ago I had a few ideas as to how PHP could be improved. A seasoned PHP developer suggested that I'd take my suggestions to this list. As I have no "commit karma" - as it has been dubbed elsewhere - I have tried to be polite and keep a low profile, only speaking out when I thought that my perspective could be of value to the discussion at hand. Now I have two questions: (1) Is it considered bad form to make feature suggestions on this list, even though I am not in the position to make any patches myself? (2) If so, can anyone point me to the place where such a feature request might be made? And now - hypothetically speaking - maybe I could find some time during this autumn to actually learn a bit more C and make a patch. Wouldn't it be better if I made a patch that the community thought worthwhile and not spend my time developing something none ever would commit? Just having someone say: "That sounds like a good idea", would be an encouragement for such an undertaking.

Side note for you Lars, I have a patch for the initial request on this thread about rand -> mt_rand, etc. I'm just making sure i'm not breaking any extensions, and then I'll send it on the list :) Should be in about an hour or so. -- David Coallier, Founder & Software Architect, Agora Production (http://agoraproduction.com) 51.42.06.70.18
