Hmm, in that case, why do ini defaults differ significantly from those compiled in?

The provided ini files are suggestions with comments for improving the configuration above the default. Those values aren't the default for exactly the reason you identified. If distributions "force" those values on you complain there. And no, we won't change the core language (<?= like in 5.4) in 5.3. There should only be bugfixes, no feature changes. If you want to help please test 5.5 snapshots before the release and identify possible issues there. As Rasmus and others said we try hard to make migration simple while allowing evolution to happen, sometimes we fail, that can only be fixed before a release, we can't change the past, yet. johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
