Currently I am still working my way through the holes in PHP5.3.x which is why
PHP5.2 is STILL the last stable release as far as my ( windows ) customer sites
are concerned. SO sensible debate on the next step forward IS more important and
What's wrong with 5.3 on windows (separate topic please :)
A number of extensions were dropped because of the rules applied to building them. In my case php_interbase is missing, and since Firebird is the only database I use it's something of a problem. So we simply build it and supply it from the Firebird site. But other extensions are also still lagging behind in conversion to being PHP5.3 compatible.
For an off the shelf windows PHP5 build, 5.2.14 is the only one that includes these libraries off the shelf and until 5.3 does I can't point my own customers there.
