PHP4 config setting suggestion

Hi - I was just salivating over PHP4.0.4 and got an idea for an addition to the config settings. Currently, you have a 'disable_functions' option; what would be REALLY cool would be to have an 'enable_functions' setting as well. That way, I could safely replace server-side includes with a small subset of PHP functions, on a directory-by-directory basis. You could arrange it like Apache access control: function_order "disable, enable" function_disable all function_enable "include, date, ereg, echo, print, getenv" Since there's not likely to be functions named 'all' or 'none', those are probably safe as special values here. You could even allow wildcarding: function_order "enable, disable" function_enable all function_disable mysql_* # Disallow mysql usage As always, thanks for a stupendously-great, A-1 Acme four-star piece of software ! -steve +--- "They've got a cherry pie there, that'll kill ya" ------------------+
