Are we going to depreciate long track vars? Does anyone mind if I add ini option "long_track_vars" to turn on and off long track vars?
Why do we need it?

Since I use Japanese for my web sites. I usually convert all user inputs to different format. For example, multi-byte(full width) number to single-byte(half width) number. If there are $HTTP_*_VARS, I could end up with having 2 different values even if I don't need old values. If $HTTP_*_VARS does not exist, I can save memory & CPU time a bit. (sometimes a lot) However, I also think it may *not* be a good idea. If there is a ini option for disabling long track vars, PHP application developers may have headache with this... It may be ok for PHP5, though. Anyway, I'll wait for a while. We need to fix "variables_order" and "register_globals" issue first. -- Yasuo Ohgaki _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
