Redesigned ext_skel to be written entirely in PHP with no dependencies, this means it will now run on Windows without Cygwin and other nonsense. It no longer includes a way to generate XML documentation (the PHP documentation utilities already got tools for that in svn under phpdoc/doc-base) and it no longer support function stubs. $ php ext_skel.php --help php ext_skel.php --ext=<name> [--experimental] [--author=<name>] [--dir=<path>] [--std] [--onlyunix] [--onlywindows] [--help] --ext=<name> The name of the extension defined as <name> --experimental Passed if this extension is experimental, this creates the EXPERIMENTAL file in the root of the extension --author=<name> Your name, this is used if --header is passed and for the CREDITS file --dir=<path> Path to the directory for where extension should be created. Defaults to the directory of where this script lives --std If passed, the standard header and vim rules footer used in extensions that is included in the core, will be used --onlyunix Only generate configure scripts for Unix --onlywindows Only generate configure scripts for Windows --help This help Example usage: $ php ext_skel.php --ext test --std --experimental $ php ext_skel.php --ext kalle --author "Kalle Sommer Nielsen" $ php ext_skel.php --ext phpfi --dir "/home/kalle/dev/" --onlyunix 2017-07-23 16:36:35 +08:00			`Core:`

Remove sql.safe_mode This is one of the last old and odd deprecated settings we still have in PHP, it was never fully implemented in all the database extensions and should probably have been gone back in 5.4, along with safe_mode. Although if my memory strikes me right, mysql was also supporting it back then, but not mysqli. So far only interbase was supporting this feature, and the removal of it causes two effects for interbase: - CREATE DATABASE is now allowed no matter - The default database set by php.ini (ibase.default_db) is no longer forced http://php.net/ini.core#ini.sql.safe-mode 2016-08-11 11:06:55 +08:00			`. This INI directive have been removed.`
