Well, php dl sucks? Why it sux for php and not for other langages? (not kidding here :) ). I feel this problem in the same way as the auto* tools. Each time someone came in and say: "got errors using version x", "we" answer please use the(damn old) version 2.x or whatever. As most of other applications use recent auto* tools without problem. If we have to deprecate dl, then we have to provide an alternative (aka python import for instance). pierre
