I haven't found this capability in IPF yet and so if it isn't please take it as a suggestion. I noticed that IPF performs a number of system checks as to what it supports, it would be great if we could put a list of required PHP extensions, such as mysql, imap, etc which aren't always enabled by default in PHP installations and make IPF check that they are installed (which can be done though PHP). If the required extensions that we have defined aren't installed we could warn the user. This means that we could at least check the system requirements for the script before installation.

Great idea, and we have thought of this already. It's on the todo / wishlist along with some neat ideas of how we might cover this idea. Worth noting though that you can do this already if you code it into a post install script, although this would occur after installation rather than before. This shouldn't be so bad as typically shared hosts have a good range of features pre-installed, and on hosts where the user has control, and where perhaps they may not have the prerequisites, they can install them as they do have control. Having the package installed before or after meeting the requirements then doesn't matter so much. Nick _________________ Community Admin

Maybe you could simply add a Pre Installation Script. This will be executed before the Installer copies the real Files ... When the Result is empty Installer can continue, otherwise it is assumed that an Error occured, and should be displayed. Maybe, when you have access to the real PHP Enviroment you should check a Constant like SCRIPT_RESULT, which can have 1 => success 2 => notice 3 => error I know ... this could be done much better, but that would IMHO be a good starting Point ...

A preinstall script is a good idea for a feature. _________________ Community Admin
