This is not an official statement - I doubt we really do these, but from my point of view: The PHP Earth article is accurate on "Core PHP". Vanilla PHP *developer* and Plain PHP *developer*, are the same as well. *Without* the word "developer", I would consider Vanilla PHP as "PHP as distributed by the PHP team". Where as "Plain PHP" would also include "PHP as distributed by Linux distribitions and *AMP versions, without additional patches". (Some Linux distributions patch PHP, which I wouldn't call "Vanilla"). However, the previous paragraph doesn't probably apply in the situation that you're asking clarification about. cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://dram.io Like Xdebug?
