Re: Re^8: Preaching Perl gospel to PHP converts...

That means the post-installation reconfigure/recompile dance doesn't have to happen (and I'd exepect that doing so is deprecated)

I hope not. Since PHP is a Web development language, its native support of databases, for example, is considered a positive feature.

I think at this point the PHP advocates are missing the point — that you shouldn't have to go through the whole configure/compile/install dance just to add a library. But whether you, Anonymous Monk recognize that is largely immaterial. I'm sure the core PHP developers have this on their list of "really-annoying" things and it'll get taken care of eventually.
