Re: Disable PHAR by default

Top posting since you started it.. :) Yes, I do disable everything I don't need. You don't need to lecture me about that. I was just pointing out that this ext/phar/ seems to do things most enabled by default extensions don't do. Like affect the very core of PHP. So enabling such by default isn't very good idea IMO.. And this extension was sneaked in core by promising something along the lines of 'it will not be enabled by default'...iirc.. --Jani Marcus Boerger wrote:

Hello Jani, we're in alpha and fix all of those issues. in contrast to 99.9% of our users it is very easy for you to disable it. But the majority will only get the extension when we enable by default. And it is one of the big plans for 5.3 to finally support native packaging to make a lot of things easier. Once again if you don't like it, just disable it like you configure any of your installations specifically for your needs - others cannot. marcus Monday, September 29, 2008, 1:15:16 PM, you wrote:

Seems like PHAR causes quite unexpected things, f.e. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46194 where PHP crashes if file does not exist. Please, can this crap be disabled by default (ALWAYS) and only those who actually need it can enable it?
