At the moment the pointers are added based on the php4/ext/module_name directory structure, but this doesnt work for the extra session handling modules as they are currently stuffed into the php4/etx/session directory. -- Regards, Alan van den Bosch Sanguis Pty Ltd /* All generalizations are false. */
