Description

Bjorn Lamers reports that the prebuilt PHP bindings for Windows won't work on PHP 5.3.0 (the error is " PHP Startup: xapian: Unable to initialize module..."). Further investigation reveals the PHP module API has changed for 5.3.0 and is not backwards compatible. We'll probably need to build separate files for PHP 5.3.0.

Yes, they changed the API in 5.3.

If you have php-config, then php-config --phpapi will give you the API version (it gives 20060613 for 5.2.10, 20090626 for 5.3.2). This is what must match for things to work.

This isn't really an issue in the bindings themselves, but rather in how you are packaging them, so setting component to reflect that.
