Subject: php id string
From: dmda@yandex.ru ("jvlad")

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?
