#27043 [Opn->Csd]: Bug system needs new PHP 5 categories

ID: 27043 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: adam at trachtenberg dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: * PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: added. tidy belongs in PECL, so not for that. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-26 11:21:14] adam at trachtenberg dot com I'm happy for other solutions. All I'm saying is that the distinction between PHP extensions and pecl extensions is unclear even in the mind of the main development team. I don't see how a "regular user" would have *any idea* that SimpleXML bugs go on the pecl bug system while DOM bugs go here or that SQLite bugs go on pecl (except that there's also an SQLite category here), while mysqli bugs go here, etc, etc. To them, it was just an extension that came bundled with PHP. If the best solution is to place a bunch of text at the top of this page, then go for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-26 05:02:51] goba@php.net What is the point of the PECL bug system then? I would suggest some forcing of these bugs to go to the PECL bug system. We can include a list of buncled PECL extensions on the bug reporting page and direct people to the PECL bug system... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-26 02:20:57] adam at trachtenberg dot com Description: ------------ We need to add new categories to the bug system for the new PHP 5 extensions. At a minimum: SPL, SimpleXML, Tidy. I know these are probably also listed in the pecl bug system, but anything bundled with PHP 5 should also be listed here; otherwise, we'll end up with lots of "Other" bug reports. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27043&edit=1
