Inspecting of source code

piersk

Just because I'm curious. Vote Yes if you have looked at the source code of either (please specify in your post) and No if you haven't looked at either. Self explanatory really...

I haven't specifically looked at PHP/MySQL, but I have looked at other sources for various things.

looked at em hell I modified them.

I worked on a project that built encryption into mysql at the sourcecode level.

Another project that I worked on had a need for speed so we added a lot of functions to php so that we could do stuff more quickly then if the functions were written in php and fed through the interpreter.

Never looked at them even once, and I don't plan to in the future.
P.S. Hope this poll times out or dalecosp will be furious...

I have dug through PHP source

Of course!

Here's a patch I wrote, for those of you who compile PHP from source, give it a whirl.

Basically, it fixes a bug in PHP (I should probably send this to php.net, no?). If you normally try to change the syntax highlighting (phps) bgcolor, it won't actually work (tested on bsd & windows). This fixes that problem 🙂

NOTE: had to add a .txt extension to upload it... shouldn't affect it. Just use patch at the root of the php source.

Yep, just for kicks. I was attempting to work out the inner workings of the Zend engine. It's quite an interesting piece of software....takes notes.

Never looked at mySQL source. Too scared 😃

Hmm...I'll give it a try when I recompile PHP on this box in a few days.

Did you send it in? We can't have a bug-ridden PHP goin' 'round! Reminds me of MS.....

Guessing from context what "either" refers to, the answer would be yes.

Reads source code as a hobby (don't worry - it's not the only one I have). Learns all sorts of odd little things. Finds the occasional small bug in the sources for things like GD_Lib and Mozilla, notifies the developers.
