As a cool-headed outside observer... looking at the two possible APIs, we have (correct me if I am wrong): * Pierre's suggested API - returns FALSE in two possible situations with no way to distinguish between the two. * Derick's suggested API - returns NULL in two possible situations with a clear way to distinguish between the two (function filter_has_var()) I think it is very clear which API is superior - in fact I would find Pierre's API broken and unusable myself. - -- Jasper Bryant-Greene Director Album Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED] +64 21 708 334 / 0800 425 286 http://www.albumltd.co.nz/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iFcDBQFFLVyQnqZ4vwo6v1gRCn96AP0Uc+fl9MD1E/dmHsXGWFzLARh2aY7bo07l QlTwDnR64gD+Kqvxc6CiiCqYjRZrc3KwQsSam2JHMhifAzphOP1ZOWk= =0bW6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
