As those options are php.ini settings. There is nothing, absolutely *nothing*, that will change if you, as an author of a PHP file, does not use typehints in that file. If a dev turns a file that he or she wrote into strict mode, then that only counts for that specific file. If you take over some code, then you can remove the declare line. *none* of those things you'd be able to do with ini settings. So don't shout out that nonsense FUD. > You really had to fuck it all up for us, the userland developers, > didn't you? > > Sorry, but I now question the wisdom and sanity of most new PHP folks. > Because the old once see the danger and vote "no".
