But Pierre, you understand that by the time you ini_set() it in the code it can only ever affect parse_str() calls. Normal GPC parsing is done prior to the PHP script running so there is no way for a userspace script to ini_set() themselves to a state where they will be insecure to a remote attack. They would have to go out of their way to specifically write code to do that and that is something they can obviously do anyway by simply building a big hash from some external source. So I don't really think this is a valid concern. If this was a real concern I would think you would have objected to the current INI_PERDIR. This is where a user can make his scripts unsafe by disabling max_input_vars in a .htaccess file. -Rasmus
