Re: Re: downloads...genuine?

Stepping lightly into the discussion -- http://php.net/downloads does offer the PECL collection of binary modules for Windows that were built simultaneously with the latest release of PHP 5.x. This would seem to be a safer place to grab your binary extension than linking to snaps.php.net (which could be broken at any given moment). The collection of PECL extensions is not an option for PHP 4 at the moment, however. I'm not sure how a fake RPM that builds an extension from source offers much beyond 'pecl install foo'. The PECL extensions are usually highly visible in search engines due to the mirroring of php.net all over the place, so if the extension is documented correctly, it's not hard to find out how to install a given extension: searching for "install ibm_db2" or "install sdo" turns up the right hits in Google, for example.
