Re: [PHP4BETA] A quick clarification question about PHP4...

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. 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:

What would work is: function foo($ar) {

        static $foo = array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday');

}

Number? String? Array of Numbers? Array of Strings?

Yep.

If all those can be passed, can someone give me an example of something that cannot be passed?

function foo ($ar) {

        static $foo = $ar;

} This wouldn't work anymore.

In another question, I am not sure I understand the You can t use PHP dynamic extensions in Windows.

Not all dynamic extensions have been ported/compiled to PHP 4.0 yet. But the MySQL extension, for example, should be working already. Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
