This wasn't supported on all platforms in 4 either because it relied on the ability to created versioned shared libs. It was a hassle to maintain and frankly none of the people who understood it had any need for it. As popular as PHP is, it is still driven by the needs of the people who do the bulk of the work. The fact that we don't have great support for ISPs and shared environments is a reflection of the fact that no core developer has ever had a serious need for it. Or put another way, no serious developer from an ISP has ever contributed enough to PHP to move the ship on this stuff. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
