I know that it would probably be just as simple to compile PHP4 and figure this out for myself, but I do not currently have an environment suitable to compile it. However, I am starting a new PHP project, and wanted to try and make my PHP3 code such that it will move to version 4 without any hiccups…. As for configuration: I have been using .php for my extension for some time, so that is not a problem. As for the incompatibilities list: The static var initializer limitation is what I need clarification on. All the other things I do not use, but I do pass vars in my init code. In my mind, scalar vars include only numbers (strings and such are arrays…), but I know PHP is not C, so can someone tell me what things are valid to pass in init code: Number? String? Array of Numbers? Array of Strings? If all those can be passed, can someone give me an example of something that cannot be passed? In another question, I am not sure I understand the “You can’t use PHP dynamic extensions in Windows. Does that mean no modules will ever work in Windows, that dl() will not work in Windows ever, or that this is a short term problem that will be fixed soon? I appreciate any help.
