Perhaps it would be wise to display both the build arch and the current arch on which its running? I used the Darwin/MAC universal build example before but even on Windows and *nix as well when you think about it, one can run a 32bit binary on a 64bit OS, usually provided the stack below [Apache, etc] is also 32 bit. So, unlike the PHP_COMPILER_ID check, which makes sense as the various VCs are declared as not quite compatible, I think in the case of different archs this would be a mistake, just displaying the gathered arch info I can see no harm in though...

May the source be with you,
Best regards,

hi,

This info is available in phpinfo on windows and I would like to add
it in the "php -v" output as well. I'm not sure how we can safely rely
on this info on other platforms but that's definitively something we
should try to do.

Cheers,

Hi all,

Starting with version 5.3 php checks id string when it loads the extensions
to match its own one and it also shows this string in PHP Extension Build
line of phpinfo(). That's great. This line contains api#, threadsafe, and
compiler. So it's almost all important thigs to check and make sure that a
particular module is binary-compatible with php core. All things, except
just one, the CPU. It's known that Windows runs on many CPUs, Solaris runs
fine under sparc, sparc64, x86, and x86_64. Needless to mention linux and
*bsd systems (I guess they are running on everything). Why not to add what
phpinfo() shows in Architecture, to the id string? Are there any reasons not
to do this?
