However the patch you sent to the list seems better and it's working fine so I've pushed it to the repository right now. Just for the record, what did you mean by passing NULL to php as a string parameter? To pass as 'null' ? I'm using it the way described above and 'null' is required only for libvirt_connect() since there are some issues with passing NULL to libvirt_connect(). We still may need to fix the libvirt_connect() function, that's true. Michal
