It should be the February 2003 SDK. It is the last one known to work with VC6. It is the one we use on our snaps boxes. Please use it if you target our binaries (to avoid wtf). > The other question is what part of the SDK doe PHP need, for what?

We updated libxml for the reasons already explained. The error you get about a missing symbol is expected if you use another version. > I already have end-users telling me that they need to put old 5.2.5 > extensions into their 5.2.6 installations because of issues. That's unrelated. There is one problem remaining in 5.2.6 and it is related to postgresql's libpq. The last version (8.3.1) was used after having been requested by the maintainers. The problem is that libpq 8.x does not support VC6 anymore and the library itself was linked dynamically instead of statically (raise a dll not found error when you load the pg extension).
