I suppose I am halfbaked. Maybe even a bit burnt and crispy on the edges, Jochem. Greatest news I've heard in a long time. Remove register_globals and magic_quotes_*! Wow. Well, considering that they've been the cause for most of the simpler PHP hacks that could have been prevented had not register_globals been active. :P I am not so sure that removing function aliases and making identifiers case-sensitive is academic purity alone, though. I consider that a very good step towards more easily managed code, that way there's only one function, and no aliases, or case-specific variations thereof. After reading the responses to Rasmus' post I am delighted to see that most of the list has agreed to this as well, splendid. Some of these were what I had expected for 5.x though, so in part I am disappointed that they were not already removed/implemented. /Torgny -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
