Re: Overriding Default Functions

Specifically, you want to enable the (under-documented) runkit.internal_override INI option. It's mentioned on the reference page, but with no explanation of what it does. I need to make a language-snippet for that at some point.... This was added in version 0.6 (prior versions could only override user-defined functions/methods). If you enable this option (PHP_INI_SYSTEM only) you can use runkit_function_redefine() to replace the builtin time() with something else. -Sara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wez Furlong" <kingwez@gmail.com> Newsgroups: php.internals To: <acox@broadwick.com> Cc: <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 4:07 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Overriding Default Functions I think runkit is what you're looking for. http://pecl.php.net/packages/runkit --Wez.
