Hi! > As I wrote, there is no real BC issue as it's just a matter of ini setting.
There is a BC issue if you need an ini setting. You keep dismissing it but if it affected the app your business relates on it'd be a major problem if on upgrade your app breaks and you need to scour release notes to figure out all settings you need to change for each upgrade. So we try to minimize such cases. In some instances, it's unavoidable - but in this case, the support for numerics in _SESSION is an exotic feature that will be of little use for 99% of PHP users. So introducing additional upgrade headaches for this is IMHO unnecessary. > I'm not going to remove old one, though.

If it is, we cannot release new PHP. We can. We can also take some responsibility for making it easier to upgrade and not just say "we had it all in the fine print, it's your own fault for not reading everything". Vendors that do that are usually disliked by their customers. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
