And yet ... I keep going back to the fact that people don't use it correctly. It's a fact that many people use 'include' incorrectly. If you say that the people are wrong, then you are asking people to modify their behavior to match the computer's design. Shouldn't we be modifying the computer's design to match people's expectations? Have you ever gone to a carnival and seen the trick bicycle booth? They've made up a bicycle which steers backwards using an extra gear. If you turn left, the bicycle goes right. You can pay to try to ride the bicycle ten feet. The booth operator has modified his behavior, and knows how to ride it. He makes it look easy. Nobody else can ride it even ten feet because the bicycle has been designed *specifically* to operate counter to people's expectations. There is plenty of evidence that 'include' operates counter to people's expectations. Use of 'include' to include off-host content should be deprecated in the next release, and removed in the release afterwards, in favor of 'includeremote'. -- --My blog is at blog.russnelson.com | If you want to find Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | injustice in economic 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | affairs, look for the Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | | hand of a legislator. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
