Yes good points, I agree. So, here is a link to the instructions. http://www.php.net/anoncvs.php. Have fun, Zoe

Thanks, I look into that. Yesterday (for me :-) I ran the test for 6.0, it failed and I told it to upload the results. Is there a place where I can see those reports coming in and/or some statistics about them? I believe that you may have hit on a problem with the current process :-(. I hope someone will correct me if I have this wrong, but this is what I think happens.

The failed test reports go to a mailing list, here http://news.php.net/php.qa.reports. However, I looked at the code that sends them there and I think they only go to that list if they are from a level of PHP that is listed here: http://qa.php.net/. The usefulness of running tests is in finding out how PHP behaves on different platforms. The platform information is included in the report - so I believe that what we need to do is extract it and build a table of tested platforms and test results. I think it should include PHP6 as well as the most recent PHP5 versions. I'm happy to add this to my "list of things to do", but I know I'm not going to get to it fast. So, if anyone is looking for another way to get involved in TestFest activity - this might be a good opportunity to jump in?

How can I automate that so it will automatically upload with my e-mail address when something fails? I don't wan to sit around and answer its question. As far as I can tell from run-tests.php, it does not allow it. Sorry, I don't know of a way.
