Hrmfpsd, while commiting a new functions the parameter parsing API i appearently brought up a discussion about the meaning of life and stuff :) As asked by Andi i'm bringing the discussion to php5-dev with a short summary:
andrei's point: extensions should stick to either functional or oo API PEAR wrappers can be provided my point: extensions should expose both APIs (if desired) can be done by aliasing functions to class methods -> no duplicate c code when called as function -> print warning when called as method -> throw exception What do you guys think of this ? regards, Harald Radi -- nme - we can heal you http://www.nme.at Ortner Radi Schwenk GnbR Tumpenweg 528 5084 Grossgmain, Salzburg Austria > -----Original Message----- > From: Andi Gutmans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 9:10 PM > To: Harald Radi; 'Andrei Zmievski' > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] RE: zend_API.c > > > Hey, > > I think the discussion you guys are having is much broader than just > mysqli.
