Adding it to PHP 5.3 depends on the release master, but probably won't be possible due to the need to keep binary compatibility. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-02 11:08:52] chrisw at networkm dot co dot uk Judging by the amount of Google space taken up by people trying to do this (including myself) I am very much in favour of moving this issue forward ASAP. I also agree with the IPv6 support (to a point), but if this is to be added to PHP 5.2.x I would suggest it may not be necessary to implement at this stage. Moving forward, shouldn't we be encouraging the use of 5.3.x for new/upgrading users? In which case, I would suggest that adding full IPv6 support against 5.2 might be a waste of time - I would imagine there would be a lot of work involved in adding full IPv6 multicast/anycast support, whereas the existing supplied patch would presumably only require minor modifications to bring it into line with the current 5.2 releases. I am all in favour of fully supporting IPv6 in 5.3, but I also believe that in the interests of speed it would be useful to have this, simpler, IPv4 multicast support in 5.2. Maybe this would be considered an un-productive approach, but it's just a thought... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
