Dan Cowgill and I have a tracing/profiling/debugging extension which we 
would be quite interested in having included in php.  Code available from 
http://apc.communityconnect.com/sources/apd-cvs.tar.gz

Also, there is our APC caching project, which has become pretty mature now 
.  It has a relatively large following and I think it would benefit php to 
have a free bundled compiler cache with it (not to mention benefit from 
the much larger developer base).  Code available from 
http://apc.communityconnect.com/source/apc.tar.gz.

Due to the mutual exclusive nature of zend_extension's (extensions that 
modify the engine's behavior), we don't store these inside the PHP source 
tree.  As it came up in the past, we can (and probably should) put up a 
directory of such extensions on php.net.  All we need is someone to 
volunteer to do that.

Hi George,

 I have a php interface to the spread group communication toolkit client
 api.  Hard to say how wide it's audience would be, but it's very useful
 for creating distributed applications (it was written to facilitate some
 distributed logging and distributed filesystem caching needs).  Code
 available from
 http://www.lethargy.org/~george/php_spread/php_spread-0.1.tar.gz
As far as i have seen youre only able to send messages with your extension,
since i dont know how to read them (couldnt find any read function in your
source)
and i wasnt able to download spread itself  (files from spread.org are
corrupted),
i would like to ask you, how this messages are received, and if it is possible
to read
them with PHP, or if i missunderstood the idea.

btw: you should clean your download, (imho) there is no need for files like
config.cache etc.
in your archive =)

Works fine for me - I just downloaded the 3.16.0 tarball and it built fine.

 them with PHP, or if i missunderstood the idea.

Since I use php as primarily a web scripting language, I haven't implemented
the client reciever api.  This would be easy enough to do, but would really
only be useful in a daemon-type process.  Again easy enough to add, it just
hasn't become relevant to me yet (I will consider that a change request,
though.:)

spread itself comes with a number of demo clients and there is the very nice
spreadlogd (http://www.backhand.org/mod_log_spread/spreadlogd-1.4.tar.gz)
for journaling messages to disk (used mainly as a log journaler for
mod_log_spread or for the spread-ported syslog).

Makes sense, I guess it's usefulness is what's up for debate.

I volunteer my efforts.  I think the full extension API is very useful and a
great addition to the language and that it would be nice to have a good
repository for such extensions.

hm, well, the 3.16.0 source and the binary tarball to,
are corrupted when i try to open file.

  them with PHP, or if i missunderstood the idea.

well i have some ideas how this could be used, but i need to have a look on
spread
my self before.

[PHP-DEV] contributing extensions?

2001-08-27 Thread George Schlossnagle

Hi,

I was interested in what the process of contributiing extensions to php 
is.  I'm a author/maintainer of a couple existing and soon-to-be php 
extensions and was curious about how to get them evaluated for inclusion 
as part of the existing 'ext' extension structure and just what the 
general processes involved with that are.

Hi George, actually what I meant when I said to send mail to php-dev was
that you should describe your actual extensions.  General-purpose
extensions that really would be useful to a wide audience are good
candidates for inclusion, although there has been a push to start the
process of moving some of this stuff out into PEAR, especially for new
extensions.

The latter of the two are currently released under the QPL, but we'd be 
happy to relicense them under the PHP group license.
