We also need that non-null zend_parse_parameters type implemented to clean up the null-byte poisoning fixes in 5.3. I can't see this slowing us down much as it is pretty trivial. Just takes someone to sit down for a couple of hours and implementing it and finding all the places where parameters end up in paths. There are probably other places we don't want nulls either that currently have local checks that can be removed. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
