[PEPr] Comment on PHP::PHP_Compat_Func

Stig Bakken (http://pear.php.net/user/ssb) has commented on the proposal for PHP::PHP_Compat_Func. Comment: Just make sure you wrap the function definitions in "if (!function_exists...)", because some packages already provide file_get_contents() etc. IMHO, compatibility functions should be one-function-per-file and installed in $PHP_DIR/_compat/function/function_name.php. Usage would be: require_once "_compat/function/file_get_contents.php"; or if (!function_exists("file_get_contents")) { include_once "_compat/function/file_get_contents.php"; } Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=61 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
