I absolutely agree with you here. But the programmer should also make
his software user/admin friendly and I don't think the 5 lines
workaround needed to fix this problem are too much hassle for the
coder...
You will have more problems telling website-"admins" (which usually
don't know a bit of webserver administration) to change a PHP setting -
just for this subdirectory - been there, done that ;).
