Re: Re: [PECL-DEV] New PHP extension for Win32

Hi Tomas, It Seams to me that your code has a few more functions than currently available in the Win32std extension. I would like to see these functions merged into the win32std extension. Having two different extensions with the exact same functionality does not make sence to me. As the author of the registry functions in win32std I would like to offer any help you might need to merge the functions, and to keep as much BC with the current module as well as your extension as possible. - Frank > Unfortunately I found out that such extension exists very recently. > I was trying to search the PECL archive for "registry" and "windows" > keywords, but these brought no results.

This extension enables the PHP script to access the Windows Registry. It covers practically complete registry API and adds few useful functions which are not included in the Windows API, but are often requested in Win32 programmer newsgroups. I have also written a detailed manual with simple examples to demonstrate the module abilities and make start using it easier. > >> > >> Please take a look at http://winreg.wz.cz/ and let me > >> know, what do you think about this extension. The best would be, if you could include it in the standard Win32 distribution. For now there is no license agreement attached, but I agree with publishing it under the current PHP license. > >> > >> Sincerely, > >> > >> Tomas Pavlicek > >> > >> -- > >> PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) > >> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >> > >> > > -- > PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
