Yes, I know how to do that, but I'm not everybody. I already see people
doing:
function FooBar() {
}
fooBar();
or:
GetImageSize()
in their script. This will work fine if your ini setting says that it is
allowed, but as soon as you move it to a server where the setting is set
to off, your application stops working. So there is definitely an issue
here.
