Re: Re: php_enchant not loadable

What does that mean "older Apache"?  I'm using what I think is the
latest build of Apache, and it's MUCH easier to replace my apache
installation than compile PHP or pecl extensions.

I suspect many people who need PHP for Windows do so mostly for their
development environment, then upload the code to Linux boxes for
production.  I can live without thread-safe extensions, I can upgrade
Apache, but some extensions are critical (namely http_get). Since
they've always been available with each PHP upgrade, it's never been a
problem, I've always grabbed the pecl zip file the same time I grabbed
the PHP zip file, and treated it as a two-step install.  (if PEAR were
periodically zipped up or available in svn, I would probably use it as
well, as it is I find PEAR terribly difficult to use).

I guess I had assumed that compiling the extensions was done in a big
batch.  If I had 5.3 extensions available, I'd gladly share them.  (I
paid for the development of php_swish.dll, and then had it added to
the pecl repository,but alas, I never compiled it myself).
