Already is optional and only is used with sapi/cgi right now. Also the ".htaccess" results are cached to minimize the performance penalty. Another thing is that you can put the stuff in the main php.ini, using the special section stuff I implemented. Thus you don't need the ".htaccess" files at all if necessary. IMO, this isn't just "nice", this is essential functionality that should have been done years ago. But I'm biased. :) --Jani -- Patches/Donations: http://pecl.php.net/~jani/
