It has been INI_ALL for a looong time until somebody decided to set it to INI_SYSTEM.
Actually it was "--enable-url-fopen" for a loooooong time until it became runtime configurable. It was *mistakenly* set to PHP_INI_ALL, but was supposed to have been PHP_INI_SYSTEM. (In line with prior behavior) As I posted earlier, url_fopens *can* already been temporarily disabled and reenabled using stream_wrapper_unregister() and stream_wrapper_restore(). There's no need to make the .ini setting magic by making it disablable one-way. However, as Derick pointed out php_admin_flag can be used to override the changability and keep it a system-wide setting on a site specific basis, so while there's absolutely no reason to make it PHP_INI_ALL, I can possibly buy into it providing the change happens in HEAD and nowhere else. There's no reason to break this setting in a stable branch, especially one as old as 4.3/4. -Sara P.S. - This was discussed at the time the change was reverted back to PHP_INI_SYSTEM. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
