It seems that there is voices in favor of keeping the GPC related
functions in HEAD/php6 but returning always FALSE. I thought the
decision was already done but I rather prefer to ask the list a second
time and be done with this topic (and be free to bogus any other bug
reports about this problem, especially when the reporters begin to
spam me and other with all possible funny words ;-)
There is not really a need to discuss the removal again, that's why I
ask for a simple vote:
+1: remove them (as it is now in HEAD)
-1: Restore them and always return FALSE (not 0)
0: I don't care, do what you wish, I never use them anyway
Feel free to comment the topic but please don't start an endless
discussion, we already discuss it to death two years ago (yes, two
years ago :-)
I can only find archives[1] that decide they should exist in PHP 6, and NEWS[2] indicates this decision to be true. Where else was this decision decided?
Them existing should depend on if PHP 6 wants a chance to run plenty of PHP 5 code out-of-the-box. Is this desire known yet?
And since they return 0 now, why would the return value be changed to false for this BC function?
Regards,
Philip
