Note Submitter: webmaster at thedigitalorchard dot ca ---- What a farce, I must say. :) PHP 5.3.9 adds an $allow_string parameter in order to handle strings being passed in, but controls the auto-loading behavior? Talk about confusing. Not sure if there's a committee discussing changes to core functions like this, but I feel that's a poor design. Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the voluntary efforts of PHP developers, but this loosy-goosy approach to function prototypes is a recipe for disaster over the long term.
