But all in all, I think it could be re-worked to allow a browscap in php.ini to be PHP_INI_USER or PHP_INI_ALL but I'm not sure how much of a value that is today, 15 years after the report was created ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
