It should be a core feature, no ini flag, no > sometimes-there module. PHP 5.n is at least a year away, wide adoption of it - more like 5 years away. So if you want to write code that would run anywhere (as opposed on systems you control) you'd have to wait minimum 5 years. Wouldn't it better to have it earlier? OTOH, requiring extensions is a common thing for applications, and any pecl extension is one command away for most setups, or one download away for others. And can be made work even in 5.2 if desired. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
