It's just that in my mind, auto_prepend is forbidden. And I believe a lot of developers don't have access to it. I know you can set the auto_prepend parameter by putting a .htaccess in your site directory but in the end, it makes a lot of .htaccess to deal with. The other way is to modify directly your php.ini configuration file but this means all your scripts will include your auto_prepended file and, depending on its size, this can slow your server. Some people might also want to use a log or an authentication script as their auto_prepend file so they won't probably want to change that for the debugging script. And it is so easy to set a constant instead. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
