I see. Well I am not new to this and knew that there would be issues. The general modus operandi of most people is to ditch the problem OS and switch over to Red Hat or maybe SUSE but the software investment here is too great. The switch over would be long and costly etc etc etc. Also, there are financial institutions that still love their UNIX servers ( Solaris ) and are unlikely to let go anytime soon. Maybe you could have a word with the executive board at Oracle and get them to stop making newer bigger Sparc servers and exadata storage? ;-) > Are you building a specific PHP version for a reason?

I can only assume that they would install with typical SVR4 packages into Solaris 10 and then be subject to maintenance under a typical MOS contract? If not, then I am stuck doing the port work myself. As for the version, well, the production release version seems like a good way to go. That seems to be PHP 5.4.10 at the moment and unless someone says that it is bleeding edge beta grade ... it makes sense to compile it. I am going to go check out your link there and, perhaps, stay in touch. from what I gather by reading between the lines no one is in a hurry at Oracle to do anything on Solaris either. At least, seems that way. Dennis -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
