It doesn't look you don't have any CVS account yet, so you will have to request one here: http://www.php.net/cvs-php.php > I have tried to submit a change that would add error reporting to the > extension by mailing internals (at) lists.php.net a couple of time but > have had no response.

That is possible of course, this means that in addition to the CVS account, you also need a PECL account to be able to release the extension there: http://pecl.php.net/account-request.php If we move the extension to PECL, it will still be there in the PHP "core" for the PHP_4_3 and PHP_5_0 branches where only bug fixes should be made. HEAD is then in PECL (although the PHP_4_3 and PHP_5_0 branches will be there, they should not be used in cvs/pecl, only in cvs/php/ext). regards, Derick
