I have a few remarks on the ergonomics. 1. Would it be possible to separate a "BASIC" default install from an "ADVANCED" install ? The BASIC install would only prompt for the php directory, then do everything from backup, install default options. If a php.ini is spotted, it is renamed php.ini_OLD and a new one is put (in order to prevent bad, deprecated options to be kept and new ones not to appear). The ADVANCED install is what you show =8) 2. When you spot an existing php.ini, would it be possible to default on "Keep It" instead of "Replace it" ? 3. The installer should generate a PHP_INSTALL_REPORT stating the version, the style of install (Basic or Advanced), the options chosen, the pathes and files... BASIC and ADVANCED Installs would be practical for testing the new release, then rolling back, or new users on the one hand, and people who want (almost) everything under control on the other hand. Hope that helps. how
