Please don't repeat mistakes for allow_url_include or allow_url_include. If admin would like to enforce programmer not to change php.ini. They should use Apache httpd and admin_flag/admin_value. Programmers should have as much control as possible to be creative. Optional embedded mode is one of them. There are too many thing that programmers should worry. If it can be turned off, they are free from it. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohg...@ohgaki.net > > Are you concerned a shared host us going to force code mode?
