Hello Internals, Ringing in the new year with a proposal to retool name mangling: Mangling has the undesirable consequence that many external variables may map to one PHP variable. This leads to user confusion and user-land workarounds, not to mention bug reports. Since register_globals has been removed, we can replace automatic name mangling with on-demand mangling via extract(). This allows a one-to-one between external and PHP super-global variables, while fixing a few bug reports on extract as well. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/on_demand_name_mangling Thanks in advance for your feedback! bishop
