Re: PHP source code directory name

Oh, I see; the question is an intelligence test and I failed. I got it now.

I tried registering and it says my answer is not what was expected. I don't see a captcha or anything like that. If the two email addresses are supposed to be different then I don't know what the first one should be.

I am trying to build PHP using: Build your own PHP on Windows https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild Step 6 of "Setup the build directory" (summarized) says: "Extract the PHP source code to |C:\php-sdk\phpdev\*vc##*\*x##*|" .... "For example: C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc11\x86\php-5.6.4-src" The pattern |C:\php-sdk\phpdev\*vc##*\*x##*| omits the lowest-level "php-5.6.4-src". Are there any requiremnens for what must be used for that sub-directory name? I assume not. I can understand it is a good suggestion to provide the PHP version in the name, especially if multiple versions are being maintained in a system. Do the build scripts require it? I assume we can use whatever seems appropriate for us instead of "php-5.6.4-src".
