RE: [eAccelerator-developers] No Support for eAccelerator?

I am getting my posts to the email archive, but I am not getting the

Therefore, I am responding to my post in the hope that it will attach it

I did not mis-understand what you said about the syntax not being
supported above PHP 4.3.
I have repeatedly stated that we are NOT using 5.x or above syntax.

We compiled the code using PHP 5.0.3 and eAccelerator 0.9.2a.
It sounds like you are saying that we need to stay with that
configuration,
or can we go up to 0.9.4 and still be able to run what is already
compiled?
Is there any significant advantage to 0.9.4 that is worth moving to over
0.9.2?

Copyrights have no meaning in most places outside of the U.S.  In fact,
when it comes to=20
computer IP and Multimedia, they don't have much meaning here either.
You can't put the
genie back in the bottle once it is out.

Its not the hammer and saw that has the value, its the furniture that is
made with them that does.

There are other commercial encoders but you will always have some
problems.

We would certainly prefer to remain with eAccelerator if possible.  We
have a long history with it
going back to Turke, and it has served us well until now.

Lastly, I attempted to build eAccelerator 0.9.4 on the machine that has
PHP 5.1.2 and the build
failed.  Based on your statements above, I assume it can't be built
against the PHP 5.1.2 headers?
Should I regress PHP to 5.0.3 as well?  Would you consider PHP 5.0.3 and
eAccelerator 0.9.4
a good combination for where we are?

Thanks for your help and patience.
