My understanding, based on the ad-hoc statistics generator, is that most scripts don't use argc/argv, and there are probably whole sites that don't use it. Still, there's no way to let PHP know it's not necessary for it to set them up... > Would checking if there is any query data before registering these speed > things up? It would in this specific case, but I think that if people expect argv/argc, they expect them to exist and be empty in case of an empty query. Any reason not to selectively turn argv/argc off by an INI directive? Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
