In php5.0 there is one extra directory under ext by name xsl which does not exist in PHP4.3.8 Why is this change? Can someone clarify me on this?

The inner workings are also quite different. It seems that noone ported ext/xslt (the sablotron one) to PHP 5 until now. And it's in PECL now. chregu > Why is this change? > Can someone clarify me on this? > > With regards > Kamesh Jayachandran > -- christian stocker | Bitflux GmbH | schoeneggstrasse 5 | ch-8004 zurich phone +41 1 240 56 70 | mobile +41 76 561 88 60 | fax +41 1 240 56 71 http://www.bitflux.ch | chregu@bitflux.ch | gnupg-keyid 0x5CE1DECB --- ## #11281 — Kamesh Jayachandran — 2004-07-16T09:30:38+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/11279#11281 · In reply to: #11280 Thanks On Fri, 16 Jul 2004 11:18:46 +0200, "Christian Stocker" said: > > > > > > […] > > ext/xslt is based on sablotron > > ext/xsl is based on libxslt and the new libxml2 support in PHP 5.0 > > The API is incompatible, so we made an extension with a new name.

I didn't blame you and there are good reasons to not to port it. But for BC, maybe someone will do it anyway... OTOH the switch to ext/xsl isn't that hard and you gain a lot of speed improvements ;) chregu > > -sterling > > > > > […] > > -- christian stocker | Bitflux GmbH | schoeneggstrasse 5 | ch-8004 zurich phone +41 1 240 56 70 | mobile +41 76 561 88 60 | fax +41 1 240 56 71 http://www.bitflux.ch | chregu@bitflux.ch | gnupg-keyid 0x5CE1DECB --- ## #11297 — Adam Maccabee Trachtenberg — 2004-07-16T16:52:11+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/11279#11297 · In reply to: #11289 > I didn't blame you and there are good reasons to not to port it.

OTOH the switch to ext/xsl isn't > that hard and you gain a lot of speed improvements ;) I think the only difficulties you'd run into is if you were using all sorts of custom scheme handlers. Then you'd need to port those. -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com author of o'reilly's "upgrading to php 5" and "php cookbook" avoid the holiday rush, buy your copies today!
