On the other hand I feel a bit sad that if I want to write perfectly good portable PHP 6 code that is only intended to work under PHP 6 I still have to check for different configuration settings. I think we were really close to get out of the if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) "requirement" but now it has been replaced with a new one. Even if a developer would write (portable) PHP 6 only code. Of course, configurations could contain a lot of other obscure settings that might have influence on the script but none as widespread as the difference in magic_quotes settings. -- - Peter Brodersen -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
