What do you think?
We could create a new category for PHP code redefining whole PHP extensions mostly 1:1. PEAR could then load those functions in PEAR::loadExtension('ftp', true) if wanted.
I think this is might be something to persue. I remember Thies saying a while back: "Everything should be PHP code, everything we are writing in C is just stuff we need to speed up so that eventually we can do it in PHP" Well I guess we are still a bit away from this. However being able to easily be able to load missing extensions is probably one of the major gripes PHP still has. While we cant yet emulate an Oracle extensions we can start small :-) regards, Lukas
