You are free to disagree with me, and I may have missed something or I could very much be wrong. It just seems to me that unless more is done than what you propose, examples such as the following will change behavior: http://www.php.net/manual/html/function.readdir.html And that's an easy one. dl, ftp_get and others can be passed relative paths.
