i'm no PHP expert, but as (1) PHP is fairly popular as web scripting
language, and (2) apache2 is now shipping with IPv6 support,
i feel the need to check if PHP language is capable of supporting
IPv6. i checked the source code and noticed that there are a lot of
IPv4 assumptions made in ext/sockets/sockets.c and ext/standard/dns.c.
could someone comment on the following topics:
- which php language primtive needs IPv6 support? for example, i see
gethostby* defined as php primitive (or function) in
ext/standard/dns.c, so i guess it natural to provide getaddrinfo/
getnameinfo as well.
- are there any prior art in this domain? any patches available?
any efforts made to integrate those into php main distribution?
if you have friends who are PHP expert, i would love to discuss it
with them.
