Re: [RFC] build IDs proposal

Hi Pierre, >> Would any of the PHP Windows guys like to comment on this? > > I did, and the reason behind this proposal was about solving the VC* > problem for the end users (we have to add another condition to check, > which CRT is used) :) I'm sorry for asking again, maybe I'm just plain stupid ;-) but I'm not quite sure how to interpret your response (I've no idea what VC* problem you mean anyway, I never had problems with PHP under Windows at all): So, basically, my situation would still work, even with the build ID? To clarify what I'm doing currently: 1. Build PHP with additional extension in ext/$name with VC8 (VS 2005) on machine A (developement machine). 2. Install both VC6 and VC8 runtimes on machine B (production machine) 3. Install official PHP build or Zend Core (compiled with VC6) on machine B 4. Copy the extension DLL (compiled with VC8) to machine B and use it as a PHP extension. (This *does* currently work with PHP 5.2.x - at least for me.) Regards, Christian
