This was the very extension I was referring to when I posted to Internals sometime last year about developing extensions, latest books, etc.. It'd been a longtime fantasy of mine because I use PHP for a lot of sysadmin-type tasks on Windows servers -- DB import/export, nightly HTTP and FTP transfers from data feed providers, things like that -- and having this API supported right in PHP would be great (instead of relying on Windows apps that do use the API but have their own arcane embedded scripting languages, if they have any at all). But my C and Win32 are not what they were when I was writing DLLs as part of my day job, so there's almost zero chance I could do the job. -- S.
