oh, please. PHP is full of tweaks and hacks specifically to augment and make easier the job of the people using it. the whole point of PHP is to make it easier to accomplish things either with other apps, or by going around them. at this point i have not seen any technical argument as to why this patch is inappropriate. all i've gotten so far is a bunch of crap about whose responsibility it is to secure things. the patch i've submitted in no way harms the ability of php to do its job, and only enhances its ability to help more people make more effective use of PHP. if php-dev is not interested in such suggestions, i'll back off and not bother you again. sorry if my providing a complete patch to add this functionality took you away from more important things. -- [ Jim Mercer [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 416 410-5633 ] [ I want to live forever, or die trying. ] -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
