Re: [PHP-DEV] Extending DB2 odbc support

Hi, To my knowledge IBM uses a Client Level Interface CLI and the specifications for CLI is exactly the same as ODBC. Compiling the ODBC extension with CLI and some other form of ODBC library would make sence if you wanted to use native IBM code and other ODBC at the same time. This was the case

Do you think strlen() is actually called that often? And isn't it a relatively quick function as it is? Just seems like you are optimizing a function that isn't actually called that often and when it is called having a 25% speedup on a function that takes a tiny fraction of the overall execution

Hi, I am very much against anything like this. Improving strlen()'s performance only will have a negligible performance impact on a real world script. With the same kind of argument you could probably find 10-20 functions which would be faster if you'd make opcodes for them. That's not really w
