Not sure about all hosts, but in my experience you can generally use an .htaccess file to override the values in php.ini for specific directories. I would think as long as that's there in the distro (which it is even in the default drupal distro), then that would take care of the problem. Maybe this isn't true on Windows--I haven't ever messed with PHP on Windows.

You're right though--we definitely are going to want to make this as simple as possible for people to install.

If MetaDean publishes an interface for pinging it, I can code the Drupal 'push' in a dean.module which will ship with our standard distro.

Speaking of the standard distro, the current cvs seems to be much more picky about magic_quotes_gpc being set to off, as Dale and I both discovered recently. (Mine was set to off but somehow got toggled--I think it happened when I upgraded php recently and I didn't notice.) There are a lot of hosts that have one instance of php and individuals have no control over php.ini. I have seen a patch at drupal.org that adds a stripslashes() routine; we may want to consider building that into a distribution for folks that don't have control over their instance of php.


just a thought.
