WampServer

Since PHP 5.3 is a lot closer to being finalized then php 6.0, it would be 'cool' to have a PHP 5.3(alpha) addon for testing.

the differences are not too big... And wamp2.0c is only out. I dunno if we will see another release beforew php6 is out , but an addon will most likely be available

Whats new in php 5.3:
* Namespaces
[blog.felho.hu]

* Late static binding
[blog.felho.hu]

* mysqlnd (MySQL native driver for PHP)
[blog.felho.hu]

* __callStatic, OpenID support, user.ini, XSLT profiling and more

The 'only' major feature missing in PHP 5.3 is Unicode support, witch is still scheduled for PHP 6.0, but PHP 6.0 is far from finished (2009 probably).


Alternatively a tutorial on how to create php addons for Wamp would be great.
