Which would be good - as all those things make writing portable code harder. $ echo '<?xml ?>' | php Is a valid program, which will behave vastly different based on the ini setting. Of course for some things having a config is good (error levels arguably, extension loading, ...) but for the raw language syntax and behavior not so. johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
