The PAT directory contains patches (fixes and improvements for the C source code behind PHP) that have been sent to the internal developers' mailing list by members of the wider PHP community. The mailing list is fairly busy - as are the developers - and patches aren't always noticed by someone able to review and perhaps apply them; this can lead to people repeatedly mailing the same patch to the list in the belief that they're being ignored!

The idea behind the posts is to provide a listing of those patches for those looking for them (including the PHP dev team) until they've been evaluated and moved out of the PAT directory purgatory.

If you -like me- were suffering from being unable to load big attachments through ext/imap because of PHPs memory limit, the new imap_savebody() function should be what you were looking for. It adds the ability to save any section (full mail, too) of a mail message to a file or stream.

You can see the proposal for the functionality on this Zend page, including some of the suggestions others made and its inclusion into The PAT direectory. You can view the source here...]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2006 07:20:47 -0600
