Description:
------------
Patch Narrative
===============

This patch allows the user to pass a `--ext` option at the command line to specify an alternative file extension. This mimics the XSL param `html.ext` available when using `xsltproc`.

The user can specify that no extension be used by passing with `--ext=false`, or the alternative extension to be used with `--ext=".foo"`.  (Note that the dot is part of the value.)  Not passing `--ext`, or passing `--ext=true`, results in using the default extension.

I have successfully built Chunked XHTML with this patch in place.


Patch Summary
=============

- Changed all variations of `'.' . $this->ext` to `$this->ext`.

- Changed all variations of `'.' . $this->getExt()` to `$this->getExt()`.

- Added `--ext` and `-e` as options, with requisite functions in
  BuildOptionsParser and array element in Config.
  
- Changed all $this->setExt("ext") calls to use a ternary; it sets the
  alternative extension when `--ext` is specified, and sets the default
  package extension otherwise.

This bug has been fixed in SVN. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the SVN server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Changed it to use short-ternary.

Kudos!

Bjori -- thanks for applying the patch, I appreciate it.  We're almost there.

The problem with using the short-ternary is that null/false/empty-string has some significance.  You can't, for example, pass --ext=false for "no extension".

Please see the upcoming patch that makes such a thing possible (it has the expanded ternaries in it, it all).

Thanks again!

Is there really a usecase for not having a file extension at all?
I don't mind expanding it again, it just felt wrong...
 [2010-04-25 23:12 UTC] pmjones88 at gmail dot com 
I believe there is at least one use case for it.  For example, I'm "no extension" for the xsltproc-generated narrative docs at http://solarphp.com/manual/ and I'd like to keep the same format for the PHD docs as well.

I get what you mean on it looking ugly; if there's some way to pretty it up and retain the "no extension" behavior, do what you need to do.
