Sure, but the issue here has very little to do with production servers. What's happening is that site administrators are upgrading their test environments and then checking their existing software to make sure it hasn't broken. They see all of these new warnings and then report them back to the application developers. It would be much easier for each application developer to redirect that site administrators to a note on php.net explaining the change than for the application developers to explain the change over and over again. Or, even better, the administrator would find it there themself. -- Jon Parise (jon of php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
