(Uwe, jtate, Chregu)
- Fixed a bug in socket_select() that could cause unexpected behavior when
using a statement like $w = $e = array($sock); This change unfortunately
prevents the use of constant values (e.g. NULL) for the socket array
paramaters. Instead, use a temporary variable or an expression with the
leftmost member being a temporary variable. ex.:
socket_select($w, $r, $e = NULL, 10); (Jason)

option which executes a piece of PHP code directly from the commmand line, etc.
(Edin)
- Fixed HTTP file upload support to handle big files better. (Jani)

print "Ready to read:\n"; var_dump($rfds);

- Fixed error message handling with PostgreSQL 7.2. (Rui)

php_COM_get_ids_of_names(). (Paul, Harald)
