Hi Brian, The installer is my work. Actually, part of it is my work. I took the installer from another project - MirrorMed (mirrormed.org) and made modification to use it with Care2x. So, the code of the installer is independent from the runtime code of Care2x.
As for your comment about register_long_arrays, honestly I don't understand it. The framework of the installer is developed by the developers of MirrorMed. I didn't spend enough time to study all its aspects - just enough to adapt it to care2x. Feel free to make the changes you think are appropriate. PHP 6 is nice to have, but not a must. The focus now is PHP 5. PHP 4.x compatibility is a must. However, PHP 6 frightens PHP 4.3 compatibility. What about PHP 4.4? If PHP 6 and PHP 4.4 compatibilities can live together then in future version we can enforce using PHP 4.4 as lowest version number.
