I've not used the C extension stuff, but I expect it's of good quality. The main advantage of using the .inc ones are that it's easy to fix/modify the behaviour without running the risk of introducing scarily deep bugs, and that it should be portable backwards even as far as PHP3. The .inc ones are definitely handy when you have limited control over your hosting environment. But if you don't want to modify the API in any way and backward compatibility/portability's not an issue, then the C extension version might be a good idea. I believe that Dan Libby's been testing it for some time. -- Edd (glad to hear you've been happy with the .inc files :)
