And I don't see why these applications have to be ported at all. But once you remove the possibility to detect that these features are turned off the applications can become insecure. And instead of removing the function set_magic_quotes_runtime() it should better give a clear FATAL ERROR imho. Otherwise we will have myriads of bugreports: set_magic_quotes_runtime() or (whatever function removed) doesn't exist in my PHP anymore. Giving the warning that the script uses a feature that no longer exists and pointing to a document describing why will save us a lot of work and trouble. Stefan
