The discussion that doesn't exist.. Is it the one you refer to in "I suggest we don't open this discussion again. The archives are full of past discussions." ...or is it the one that is taking place in private? As a development house that relies on PHP for it's living and also relies on MySQL as a default database (through supplying standard toolsets with flatfile/MySQL options for storage) You could say I have a vested interest in the possible future db usage on PHP. I agree that SQLite is a good idea, however I also see the need for standard, bundled db client code, after all the MySQL inclusion has had an enormous impact on hosting and hence the direction of mine and many other PHP oriented industries. The questions that are floating round my head 1) Will MySQL be included again - I presume this will probably be so, dependant on MySQL AB. 2) Will any consideration of including a non-commercial db client as default will EVER be considered regardless of circumstances. 3) If it would be considered, how much more favourable the circumstances would have to be for the inclusion to be seriously considered. 4) Should MySQL not be included again and no discussion of alternate DB's being allowed, am I right in presuming PHP would have no bundled DB client. Finally, this would be all made a lot easier if the libraries could be included at runtime from a local directory. From what I understand this should be possible with PECL. If all (most, some, importartant) modules could be included by dropping them into a ftp folder and including them in your code, none of these conversations would be relevant. So... 5) can we, or will we be able, to do this? Tim -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
