Yes. http://pear.php.net crashes my IE6 too.

Please stop with the browser wars. They're boring and tired and serve no purpose. IE6 is fast and launches in 1 second. FF takes many seconds. IE7 is also a bloated pig and I will be very sad in 15 days when M$ FORCES everyone to it. IE also has very nice DirectX rendering filters for gradients. > or maybe rebuild the windows machine in question (hey it wouldn't be > the first time something > like this was helped by a clean install right?) It is NOT the OS. It is the PEAR site itself that is to blame. There is clearly some code or tag or something that is causing this failure. It didn't used to be there either. I've gone to the PEAR site many times in the past. The site isn't even that compex, so I'm curious why the webmaster couldn't just fix this problem and make everyone happy? Or is the PHP community so snobbish that they're turning into the Linux community? I find it so ironic that all the fringe browser people freak out if their browser isn't supported by some site and demand retribution, yet when the tables are turned how quick they are to tell 80% of the world to use a 20% browser... *sigh* -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
