I'm part of a dev team and I've been charged with writing a PHP module, there was one being developed but it had too many issues and the original developer gave up because he couldn't make it work with different versions bof the software or different versions of PHP I've completed the module and now that I've extensively tested the module in (too) many versions of PHP and several OS's to ensure compatibility and functionality, I've been asked to submit it for inclusion in the PHP source distribution. This is all very new to me and I've tried looking at php.net but wasn't able to locate any instructions for submission so I'm writing to the dev list for further assistance. So, where do I go from here? How long is the usual submission process?? -- Dale

It would probably help if you mentioned what the module is. D.Walsh wrote:

Send a post to pecl-dev@lists.php.net containing a description of your extenion, the library(s) it links against, the license you plan to release it under and (since you've already got it written) a link to a tarball containing the source code for initial review. Once it's been approved, you can apply for a CVS and PECL account, and create a package entry at pecl.php.net (optionally storing the package in CVS). -Sara ----- Original Message ----- From: "D .

Thank you Sara for pointing me in the right direction.
