Everything you write is an attempt to deny that the problem exists, deny that serious programmers have the problem, deny that the problem is due to a badly designed intrinsic, and deny that the intrinsic should be redesigned so that its sharp edges are either softened or made apparent.
Graphical user interface designers understand the idea of an 'affordance'. An affordance is something whose operation is obvious simply by looking at it. An uparrow button moves something upwards. 'include' is an affordance. It obviously includes a local file. In essence, php's include is an apple with a razor blade hidden in it. In essence, allow_url_fopen==no wraps all fruit with a metal mesh so when you bite into them, your mouth is protected from the razor blade in the apple. Unfortunately, the only fruit which has ever been found to have razor blades in it are the apples. > I agree with Stefan's previous emails.
