Re: REQUEST_TIME change in PHP 5.4

I think the REQUEST_TIME semantics of returning float should remain as is. -1 for adding further environment variables.

A proper explanation of why you take that attitude would be helpful. Personally I expect REQUEST_TIME to be in the same resolution as the http format time stamps which does not include milliseconds (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3.1). Personally DATE is a floating point value with the fractional part being the fraction of the day. So adding another variation to cope with does not make any sense. So adding a non-standard environment variable for those who want it rather than screwing up the existing one is the logical approach?

Ah, that one. I got lost between all the commas and thought he meant an RFC for changing REQUEST_TIME from int to float :-)

Which name should we use? a) REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT b) REQUEST_TIME_MSEC c) other?

I'd vote for a (REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT), as MSEC is not what it really does. Depending on the time and precision it might not show miliseconds f.e.
