Hi,

it seems that the filter ext is getting fast tracked into 5.1.x
I just want to make sure that we are all on the same page on this topic ..

In what form would it be added to core? I presume it would be marked as
experimental? Has the doc team jumped on it yet?

regards,
Lukas

Definately experimental. It still crashes for me when
I pass something like ?foo=<br/> in either POST or GET. :)

A few days ago I tried to find a compiled version of the input filter
extension for win32 but couldn't find one on the PECL page. As with RC6
of PHP 5.1 which came for Debian just hours before the final release I'd
appreciate compiled versions for testing. I'm not into compiling my own
PHP but OK with using precompiled alpha stuff. Do get more feedback
(there were complaints about the PEAR people not testing...) compiled
win32 builds would enhance the chances of getting bug reports in time...

I just committed some sort of config.w32 file for it.
People who know the stuff better told me it now should get
automatically build at http://pecl4win.php.net/  :)

I've submitted a patch for this problem here:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=6124

Are there any other known issues besides this one that continue to
render this extension as experimental?

It is new and therefor experimental, the experimental flag usually
sticks around for about a year since the release. At which point the
state of the extension is reconsidered.

It would be good to get it into the core distribution though as
experimental, so that people can actually make use of it and test it.
This should boost the stability too as we're seeing errors earlier.

+1 (one MILLION..:)

There's that one gotcha though. It has to be disabled by default. :)

And patch applied, thanks.

Not that I know right now, but it's still experimental.
