Wasn't that the original intent with PHP, to stitch together C libraries that you could use more easily? --Larry GarfieldIf the long term result is that PECL gets more attention and usage as people realize the advantages of C-based code, even better.I think it's the exact opposite - the less C code we need the better. Developing C code is more work. Maintaining C code is more work. Distributing C code is more complicated. The less this is needed, the faster PHP is, the better for everybody (except C programmers ;-) ) johannes
