compile time options wouldn't be much of a slowdown. and in my mind, with CPU power being quite cheap, i could see it being more valuable to have more bounds checking, security checks, etc, etc. add that extra couple ms per request... there's probably a lot more bloat that could be cut down on in place of a more robust layer of security. PHP has some reputation for being insecure, mainly due to the people writing crappy apps - but if the engine itself cut down on allowing those crappy apps it would cut down on them being exploitable (can't fix the code for them, but perhaps fix them from being exploited to begin with) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
