RE: [PHP] Curious about something....
Hi, The question sounded more like a technical one - is it an advantage in terms of memory? CPU? startup overhead? etc. Yeah, it was mostly a technical one, and it was also one that left me scratching my head. I guess in other languages, I just import or include the library I want to use for each project. Unfortunately, I can't just always recompile PHP everytime I want to use a different one, and was trying to find some justification for this. I've decided that I'm gonna go thru and get a list of all the libraries I want to enable, and do it all at once when I can. -Dan Joseph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You can build php with what you consider you'll be using the most
and enable (as shared modules) the other modules you might consider
using in certain scripts.
Then in a script that uses the shared module, you can just add
dl('mcrypt.so') in the sript.

Re: [PHP] Curious about something....
From: Dan Joseph [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there any particular advantage to having the default PHP install exclude a lot of useful modules such as mcrypt, cli, sockets, etc? Yes. I've found that I do not need those libraries and have a secret agreement preventing them from being included... Honestly, this has kind of been discussed this week in the encoder thread. Where do you draw the line on what's useful or not and who does the deciding on that? What's useful to you may not be to me. The modules are easy enough to install if you need them, so you're just going to have to do that. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Curious about something....
I also thought it was a technical or resource question. When not running as a cgi, don't the extensions gain persistence, loading only the first time requested or first time PHP is used, instead of loading with each request? That kind of question.
