As i see we would have problems especially with extension tests and windows, as Zoe cited linux machines usually compile with extensions. Maybe merging both ini's and sorting out the main problem causes, as in html_errors. I see the point in both arguments, with the new run-tests and parallel testing coming, is it viable to just run tests with both the local ini and the default? A comparison between those might even help us pickup more edge cases that depende on config, like Stephan P's 2000+ tests mentioned above. -- Rafael Dohms PHP Evangelist and Community Leader http://www.rafaeldohms.com.br http://www.phpsp.org.br
