I think ALL of the database interfaces are critical. You will find PHP users for every interface. As Matt pointed out, mysql, mysqli, odbc are a bare minimum. Without those, you are leaving out 90% of the PHP users.
I would also rate ldap as critical - lots of users out there. There are users for xslt as well - unfortunately, the old XSLT is not included in Cool Stack and that's what people seem to be using, rather than the newer XSL. Is there a php_fastcgi version planned ? If not, it's important to add cli - otherwise there is no php binary generated. If you're planning to do a fastcgi version of php (for non-apache users), then we can use that version for the php binary. For the record, Cool Stack does include pcre (it uses the pcre included with the PHP coded, not a separate library) and also all of the following and a whole bunch of others not listed by Jyri -not sure where you got your list from ? - it would also be helpful to organize your list in alphabetical order and add the missing ones) : calendar ctype cli cgi dom fastcgi dbase exif mbstring pdo posix session soap spl xml Shanti Jyri Virkki wrote: > As part of the webstack project, PHP will be integrated into > opensolaris.
