--- Comment #17 from PleaseStand <pleasest...@live.com> --- (In reply to comment #16) > I've been wondering this as well.

We could as easily mention the requirement for php5-json at the same > time. If we do decide to not include a pure-PHP implementation, I will have to make two small changes to the installer, though that shouldn't be a big deal at all. (a) Adding a new environmental check for json_encode() or json_decode() (b) Removing one of the two uses of Xml::encodeJsVar. This is for JS encoding an array of database types that doesn't seem to be used anywhere, and which in any case should be alphanumeric (thus simple to encode). I'll also note that compatibility code does not necessarily have to be included in core MediaWiki, if loading extension code early in the startup process (including the installation process) is allowed for. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
