Subject: PDO Extension contributions
From: capile@tecnodz.com (=?UTF-8?Q?Guilherme_Capil=C3=A9?=)

Ola,

my name is Guilherme Capil=C3=A9, I'm a Brazilian developer and I'd like to
contribute to the PHP-SRC. Right now, specifically to the PDO DBLIB
(ext/pdo_dblib) extension. I've already submitted a bug, a patch and a
pull request, a month ago, but haven't got any responses so far --
looks like no one else is interested in this extension. The last time
it was actively developed was almost two years ago, and the bug I
mentioned makes this extension unusable as of PHP 5.4+ (it was
introduced on PHP 5.4 back at 2010).

I'd also like to enable other features available on other PDO
extensions, like driver/session attributes (DBLIB has none), and
resolve some of the bugs listed for it, but don't know if such
contributions are welcome.

If I can contribute, I'd like to just know how, and if the former
developers Stanley Sufficool, Felipe Pena, Rasmus Lerdorf among others
have any thoughts and considerations on future progress.

Otherwise, if this extension is marked for death, please let me know
so that I can search for alternatives.

I already e-mailed the PDO list, and the only response I got was a
suggestion to email this list instead...

Cheers,

Guilherme Capil=C3=A9
