I'm not sure why either, but I would only welcome such as it does make testing some extensions much easier, like we have some extensions that at least in the past, like ext/exif and ext/mbstring that was never compiled statically on Windows. Meaning the only way we could test them was by doing something like by making a php.ini with the following content in the output directory: [php] extension_dir = ./ extension = php_mbstring.dll extension = php_exif.dll ... You can specify in a command line argument to run-tests.php which php.ini you wish loaded, or none at all afair which should ease not having to modify makefiles and such. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
