It uses c functions php_mb_convert_encoding and php_mb_check_encoding_list. If you do not find those in ext/exif/exif.c you are not using head since this was added right after releasing PHP 4.2. In there you'll find some #ifdef HAVE_MBSTRING lines. I think if you use PHP 4.2.x for now we will find a solution like Markus (with k) mentioned and load the needed two functions dynamically. Question to Markus: We do not allways have dlsym, have we? *nix and cygwin have dlfcn.h but my Win does not have it. So i guess the correct macros are # define DL_LOAD(libname) LoadLibrary(libname) # define DL_FETCH_SYMBOL GetProcAddress # define DL_UNLOAD FreeLibrary That would mean loading the symbols in MINIT, correct? regards marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
