There currently is a keyword "use" in the engine, reserved for future use: 1.1 (zeev 29-Oct-00): | T_USE [...] With all the discussions about errors and ini settings, why not use use to put PHP into different modes on a per-script-basis? Some ideas that came to my head: - use strict; => bail on undefined string- / array offsets / undeclared variables? - use exceptions; - use error::mode(exceptions, E_ALL); - use error::mode(exceptions, E_WARNING); => Use exceptions instead of zend_error - use sybase::magic_quotes; => Enable feature - use ini::default_mime_type('text/xml'); => Use it to set PHP_INI_ALL entries - use oop::implicit_clone; => Activate BC features - use lang::float_seperator(','); => Change EG(float_seperator) - use oop('php', *); => Declare we want to use (import) the built-in classes - use error::handler('my_error_handler'); => Replace set_error_handler() - use globals; => Auto-populate $_* variables ... - Timm
