Given the current implementation (which we already said we'll change in the future, and I'm planing on giving it a look sometime during the next month or so), I personaly think it is a bad idea. Remember : if no php.ini file is parsed, configuration_hash is empty, so get_cfg_var() always returns an empty string, and that's _very_ confusing. Flavien Lebarbe --- Open Care.
