-Configuration Issues
---------------------
-* properly detect dbm routines when they're in libc
-* add the appropriate #define magic for memmove and friends (see
- GNU autoconf info pages for details)
-* make it possible to disable support for some extensions (gd, dbm)
-* make it possible to build selected extensions so they are
- dynamically-loadable
-
-Core Language Issues
---------------------
-* go through PHP2's php.h and see how each special #define might be
- applied/supported in PHP3
-* move Treatdata() to language-scanner.lex where hash_environment()
- is called including a decision about priority of variables and moving
- Treatdata() to use hash_add() instead of hash_update() for insertions
- to the symbol table.
-* go through FIXME and XXX lines (egrep 'FIXME|XXX' *.[ch])
-* make lexer and parser thread-safe
-* verify that binary strings are handled correctly
-V don't evaluate truth expressions more than once
-V make unset() work on arrays (tricky)
-
-Core Functions
---------------
-* go through all file functions and make sure they are opened in binary
- mode in win32 if needed (ie copy)
-* go through all functions and look at PHP_SAFE_MODE issues
-* have a look at return codes of fsockopen() function - we should
- probably RETURN_FALSE and then set an error code somewhere (Rasmus)
-* go through FIXME and XXX lines (egrep 'FIXME|XXX' functions/*.[ch])
-* add user-level flock() implementation to let people lock and unlock files
-* add "'" modifier to sprintf to group thousands by comma
-* Add an improved eval() that doesn't "leak"
-? sorting of objects with a user-defined comparison function (like Perl)
- (this shouldn't be expected before 3.1, if at all).
-
-
-Extensions
-----------
-* add version strings for all extensions
-* Oracle persistent connections
-U gd support for windows
-* Illustra support (APIS)
-? CQL++ support (http://www.cql.com/)
-? GNU SQL support (does anybody actually use this?)
-? DB2 support (http://www.sleepycat.com/)
-? Shore support (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/shore/)
-? PGP Interface (use PGPlib?)
-? more Perl-like regex handling?
-
-Server Support
---------------
-P ISAPI (Shane)
- * process cookies
- * blocking functions
- * make sure it's Microsoft-clean so it can be used with other ISAPI
- implementations
-* WSAPI
-* NSAPI
- * process cookies
- * check POST method handling code
- * use Netscape memory allocation inside emalloc() and company
-* FastCGI support - see http://fastcgi.idle.com/
-
-Win32 Specific
---------------
-* implement some kind of syslog->file log support for win95.
-* change all file open/read/write functions from c library to win32
- api file functions. The win32 api functions handle both disk files
- and network files. This will allow include and require to use http
- or ftp files as the unix version does, and do away with my
- workaround to support this. (3.1?)
-* implement symlinks via windows shell links (shortcuts). This will
- work only at the script level and is not a c language level port.
-
-Testing
--------
-* truss/strace a typical PHP request and see if there are some system
- calls that could be optimized out
-* verify that regression tests exist for all core functions
-
-Miscellaneous
--------------
-* remove hard-coded compilation options
-? locale issues - funny things happen in PHP2 when the locale is set to
- use , instead of . as the decimal seperator. ie. 1.5+1.5 = 1
-? SSI->PHP3 conversion script
-? SQL-based access logging (start with examples/log-*.php3)
