Re: R: [Phplib-users] phplib for php4 release?

That tree contains highly experimental code that is largely incomplete.
It should never be used in a production environment (if indeed that's
possible given it's inconsistent state).

That tree is used purely as a source of interesting ideas for future
development in the -stable tree. I think the only stuff left in there
that hasn't been merged into the -stable tree is the PHP4 session bits.
So once that's done we'll hopefully be able to delete that tree and
save everyone a lot of angst.

The -stable tree is as it's name implies stable. It should be possible
to use the code from it as a drop-in replacement for any reasonably
modern (like 2-3 year old) PHPLIB installation.
