Re: Upgrade 4.2.4 > 4.3.1

It's not like you won't get the benefit of the new features just because you don't have the latest php.ini file. Those new features will simply take on default values. I very much reccommend against replacing your php.ini file all the time. Do a diff every now and then and see what new things have popped up and if you think something in the latest php.ini-dist file might affect you, add the appropriate line to your local php.ini file. -Rasmus On Mon, 21 Apr 2003, Stephen wrote: > The problem is that each time the version changes, there are new options > added to the php.ini file, and some old options are removed.
