I would like to raise this point once more. I am a bit surprised that nobody voted, but I got a lot of feedback from people about this proposal offlist when I first brought this to the list. Then again a lot of those people were not "core" developers. The fact remains however that a large number of frameworks rely on the @fopen() hack and so offering a better solution sooner rather than later seems like a very good idea. Then again, no vote essentially means sticking with the status quo aka stream_resolve_include_path() (which needs some additional love as the RFC states to really serve for what it was originally intended) when PHP6 comes out. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
