Hmm... in the apache world, the srm.conf and access.conf were deprecated, but the Include directive in the configuration file is still maintained. That is, by default, people use a single apache configuration file. However, for specialized cases, like Brian's, people have the ability to use multiple files if they want the extra work of multiple configuration files.
It seems to me that PHP could do something similar. That is, by default, there is a single php.ini file. If some developer or company wants multiple ini files for whatever reason, then we could have this Include directive. I haven't looked at Brian's implementation, but I think this concept of allowing 'included' config files is really powerful. I mean, why not let people who like multiple config files have them? That doesn't mean that everyone will use them, just people who want the extra headache/flexibility of them. dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 12:26 AM To: Devon O'Dell Cc: PHP Developers Mailing List Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: [RFC] include_ini and include_ini_dir On Thu, 12 Sep 2002, Devon O'Dell wrote: > Not to be a troll, but weren't srm.conf and access.conf deprecated for a > reason? I think it was the reason that it made configuration less clear. Three files for one thing isn't just 'right'.
