Re: Bug #17707 Updated: ini_set and upload_max_filesize

BTW, this *has* been brought up before by Philip on php-dev (an perhaps here too). The net result has been: nada The source still has the incorrect signatures. If you (Gabor) have more clout, perhaps you can nudge the repective module maintainers to fix that. This should be reclassigied and reopened as a PHP bug (not a doc bug). --- goba@php.net wrote: > ID: 17707 > Updated by: goba@php.net > Reported By: tr909@bigfoot.com > Status: Bogus > Bug Type: Documentation problem > Operating System: linux 7.1 > PHP Version: 4.1.2 > New Comment: > > So then the sources should be corrected.
