Yes there are a lot of very useful packages, but I think this one could be very good but not only for the users but also php's general security image/reputation. Yes many settings can be set in a way that make PHP less safe than what it can be and helping our users getting towards a more secure application and dev process would be optimal and very cool. Simple in ext/ where one could go like --enable-security-info .... But yeah, I won't be mad if we decide it's a bit useless for the core but I think it would be a good "feature" add for PHP6 and perhaps even a bit of press coverage about php's security, but good press :P > -- > Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect > [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ > (408)253-8829 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- David Coallier, Founder & Software Architect, Agora Production (http://agoraproduction.com) 51.42.06.70.18 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
