Sounds good to me - I will set aside some time to work on QA.

Subject: [PHP-QA] PHP 4.0.7
> As those of you who are subscribed to php-cvs may have noticed, Andi and I
> implemented today the functionality I suggested to replace
register_globals:
>
> - $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_FILES, $_ENV and $_SERVER replace
$HTTP_*_VARS
> (the old vars still remain for downwards compatibility)
> - The new variables are auto-globals - they're available in all function
> contexts - there's no need to import them using the 'global' statement or
> reference them using $GLOBALS.
> - $_REQUEST (this name might change) - includes the data from $_GET,
> $_POST, $_COOKIE and $_FILES, all in one array, for those users who don't
> really care to differentiate between the various types of input.
>
> This change was my last major TODO item for PHP 4.0.7. At this point, we
> should try to get PHP 4.0.7 out the door soon. I suggest we branch 4.0.7
> away next Tuesday, and start the QA process. This should give people
> enough time to make any final changes they want to put into 4.0.7.
>
> One other idea I'd like to pitch is releasing 4.0.7 and 4.1.0
> simultaneously, with the only difference between them being the default
> value for register_globals. This would create lots of noise and encourage
> people to start actually using the new $_GET&friends features, which can
> otherwise go unnoticed.
