Re: set_magic_quotes_runtime is still E_DEPRECATED

Hi, This seems like a trivial change from the implementation side, so I am not worried about changing this for the "better" even after RC4 (given proper documentation. So here are the choices I see: 1) stay as is .. aka defaults to on while not emiting an E_DEPRECATED, do emit E_DEPRECATED when using the setter 2) as per Zeev, leave the default as is and change things when using the setter as follows: "emit E_DEPRECATED in case of true and nothing in case of false; For 6 - emit an error for true and nothing for false." (so he is also suggesting to revert the removal of the setter in PHP6) 3) stay as is .. aka defaults to on while not emiting an E_DEPRECATED, but do not emit E_DEPRECATED when using the setter to disable 4) change the default to off, for the rest stay as is A few notes: First up we are late in the RC stage. Also E_DEPRECATED is a "checker tool" you enable temporarily during development. I expect most people to use a php.ini supplied by whatever distro they are using or simply update their current php.ini, in which case they are most likely setting a value for this setting explicitly, which should cause and E_DEPRECATED if enabling this feature. I am also not sure which if the other settings that we are removing in PHP6 are also on by default, but obviously if we change something here, we are opening pandora's box to those as well:

    - define_syslog_variables
    - register_globals
    - register_long_arrays
    - safe_mode

Please keep things as concise as possible when you reply. regards, Lukas
