note 85964 added to network.configuration

I'm not quite sure what the point of this is. As far as I can tell, it simply creates variables containing the constant values defined on http://uk.php.net/manual/en/network.constants.php (using the same names), and I can't see why you would need to do that (why not just use the constants?). Is this a backwards-compatibility issue, or is this function doing something else that I've misunderstood? ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 81.157.8.87 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/network.configuration.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85964 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85964 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85964 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
