Hi all [specifically those monitoring the patches thread], Ive noticed that alot of you seem to be asking questions which were actually answered in the original post of the thread. Can I request that anyone who has an opinion on this matter both read the thread, and (where possible) try out the patch for themselves to see what impact it really has. The underlying effect is minimal, no noticable change. The effect of having the option there is mind blowing for IRC based support staff who are dealing with (for want of a better word), idiots. For those of you who dont have time, or the capability to test it out for yourself, please take the following exampes: http://www.dapond.net/code/backtrace.php http://www.dapond.net/code/backtrace.phps http://www.dapond.net/code/backtrace.phps?HIGHLIGHT_FORMAT=default http://www.dapond.net/code/backtrace.phps?HIGHLIGHT_FORMAT=lineno

Sorry guys. I still don't understand why we need to extend phps capability ;) With script level, we can contol output/access as needed. In addtion, it's much easier to maintain compare to phps once you write appropriate script. Most importantly, it always works at script level. Although I forgot details, I suppose we'll breake modulality between Zend and PHP if we try to fix problem of phps. IMHO, it does _not_ worth it. We shouldn't add new features that will not working well. Therefore, phps should be left as it is now. (If someone has feasible solution, I don't against that. of course) Why not just add new parameter to show_source/hilight_file? We don't need to add new feature to phps, but should provide only for functions. It should be good enough. -- Yasuo Ohgaki

(note the default setting for a .phps without arguments) This doesnt demonstrate the use of the show_source (or other aliased) function, but I assure you - it works similarly with an optional parameter, defaulting to current behaviour. I still await a good reason for this not to become part of the standard distribution, and any list of adverse side affects this poses.
