Would it be possible to backport ftp_raw to PHP 4.3.x?

Dear all, In our project we need to make use of ftp_raw to talk to a Hylafax server using non standard FTP commands. This can be done easily with the ftp_raw() function, but we are constrained by our web hosting in having the PHP 4.3 branch. Looking at CVS sources for PHP 5.0 and PHP 4.3.x it is very easy to take the code related to the function ftp_raw from 5.0 and incorporate it to 4.3.x in the ext/ftp directory. After compilation ftp_raw() works without any problems in 4.3. I include such a patch in attachment. We know that the 4.3.x branch is frozen and only bugfixes are accepted, but given: - The simplicity, small size and low cost of this change. - The doors it would open to 4.3 users (using hylafax commands and probably other uses too). we were wondering if you could also make this change so that the Whole World would benefit. Regards, Miguel Telleria

Sorry, but we do not backport new functions to the PHP 4 branches. regards, Derick
