for the record, the "Don't ever guess at the PHP executable location." comments was made back in 2002 http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=82472 and at time the part of the code which guessed the php binary was pretty messy, so I think that now we would be safe to use the "auto" for default. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
