I don't think it is "shady" - it's a well-known syntax, and while shell execution can indeed be dangerous in some scenarios, it is commonly used in cli applications, and is not that rare there. I don't see a point in deprecating it - it doesn't improve anything that I can see, only makes extra work for people that are using it. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
