Changing to use E again would require considering the security considerations and a new RFC. Can you open a discussion on the internals list if you think this is still an issue to be discussed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-19 09:40:29] cweiske@php.net Description: ------------ The default php.ini-production[1] sets variables_order to "GPCS", which misses the "E" for environment variables. This change was introduced in revision 277363 on Tue Mar 17 19:19:17 2009 by johannes: > MFH: Replace old php.ini files with the new ones according to > http://wiki.php.net/rfc/newinis (by Eric Lee Stewart) The wiki page writes: > There is a performance penalty paid for the registration of > these arrays and because ENV is not as commonly used as the > others, ENV is is not recommended on productions servers. Since superglobals are only registered when they are used by the code (JIT), there should not really be a performance penalty, and E should be included in the default production setting.
