Re: nwe PECL extension to handle OpenGIS WKB structures

Hello Vincent, I would personnally love to see this in PECL. Couple of questions: 1) Are you using any third party lib or just your code? What's the license? 2) Do you have an idea of the name you want the extension to have? 3) Is there any place we can see some sample code? As for the rest, you will need to request a CVS account as well as a PECL account if the community agrees to your PECL addition. Good stuff.
