I agree with you there. And I also like the function names you guys came
up with.
Thanks, the patch is even ready, but...
But my real reason to write this email is this: Is there any chance
INPUT_REQUEST would make it into 5.2 if I come up with a patch? What
would be the time frame for it? Is your current patch online so I could
base it on that?
The reason I'm asking is that I think it the interface without it is
unnecessarily crippled and providing it later makes version checking
necessary in code using this function.
If Derick can make a compromise and accept to this widely approved
proposal, yes, I can make INPUT_REQUEST for 5.2. If not, I'm not even
sure that 5.2 will have filter (or any upcoming version). I'm
pessimist, I'm again blocked by a "no" without alternatives.
Please note that Dmitry was kind enough to merge a bug fix about cgi
and -d. It will allow me to add a bunch of INPUT_GET/POST/REQUEST
tests with different default filters.
