thing.
That's why I suggest removing it in 6, and deprecating it from now
on.
As 6 "will break everything anyway".
I go it but there is no easy to deprecate an internal function.
Except
to spare two #define php_(u)_dirname in HEAD, I still see no gain :)
Perhaps it's time to make a "compatibility" extension with all those
ifdefs everywhere and engine hooks.
I'll +1 that. I'll even volunteer to maintain it, if someone who knows
the engine better can give me a framework to start from.
