And the fact that it doesn't work properly with shared extensions made me to remove it altogether. The option only caused trouble when people used it when they didn't even know what it does (--enable-versioning) Also, the apache options we have are same between PHP 4 and 5 so it never could have worked without patching the Apache SAPI sources. :) Manual states that it's only for PHP 3 which is quite correct.. --Jani -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
