You could try to email the maintainer listed, Uwe Steinmann < uwe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> or <steinm@xxxxxxx>, but it looks like it's been a while since anyone has touched that code. If this is because of backwards incompatible changes in PHP (e.g., http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration54.incompatible.php, http://php.net/manual/en/migration53.incompatible.php), you could try to avoid the PHP bindings Uwe developed and merely use PHP to call a C program that directly deals with his project pslib: http://pslib.sourceforge.net/ Sorry for the trouble, Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com
