I was saying that instead of ALWAYS creating $argv and $argc, regardless of register_global status, it should ALWAYS create $_SERVER['argv'] and $_SERVER['argc'], regardless of variables_order setting. This has the double-edged effect of making it a standard to always use $_SERVER['argv'] for cli, and to discourage people from removing S from variables_order and using $_SERVER as their own variable name for something else. Making globals $argv and $argc always created is just cluttering the namespace even more, and (I think) breaks the idea of always putting variables into the superglobal $_* arrays. ttyl, greg
