#46956 [Opn]: document the mysterious 'from' directive

ID: 46956 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: philip@php.net Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: I think you're right, that its current location is probably fine. And while discussing it a little with Hannes the other day we noticed it's also used in http_fopen_wrapper.c ... so maybe this rarely used ini setting is worth mentioning somewhere else too. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-12-31 05:18:25] torben@php.net Hi Philip, Yes, it appears to still exist. The option is still there in the supplied php.ini and is used in ext/standard/ftp_fopen_wrapper.c (so not in the FTP extension). For my money it's probably OK where it is. Torben ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-12-27 18:32:51] philip@php.net Description: ------------ We have a theoretical PHP directive named 'from' that, according to the documentation: http://php.net/manual/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.from "Define the anonymous ftp password (your email address)." This was added by Jani to php.ini Fri Jun 1 03:19:53 2001 UTC with the following: Commit message: Added missing configuration directive: from which is used by fopen() to be send as the default password Entry: ; Define the anonymous ftp password (your email address) ;from="john@doe.com" However, I am unable to determine if this really exists [anymore, and when] or why it exists or if it should instead be documented under the FTP extension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46956&edit=1
