Basically something like our win32 snapshot building process. Ok, so what is to do: - Implement a feature to get build date, package date (php4.3.0-dev-200212120900 for example, compiler, bison blablabla out of php (not via system calls, otherwise it is impossible to use the test-system on windows-machines or on webservers. This has to be done in PHP. - Modify the run-tests.php to decide if a test failed or passed (TRUE/FALSE), build an array out of these results an make a wddx out of it. The user should have the option to decide via a config-file to write the xml to disk or to directly submit it to the webserver.
