DIR_SEP handling

I've asked for this before and was told no, so I'll ask in a different way hopefully more nicely ;) Can we (please) remove: define('DIR_SEP', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); and instead add: function _set_dir_sep() { define('DIR_SEP', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); } with a call to $this->_set_DIR_SEP() to start off the Smarty() constructor? Then the default handling could be overwritten without touching the main class. Either that or rename it SMARTY_DIR_SEP. After all, it is a commonly wanted name in the global namespace. Otherwise (IMHO) Smarty should use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR natively. My original suggestion was simply: if (!defined('DIR_SEP')) { define('DIR_SEP', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); } I should note that on my w2k box with PHP 4.3, it doesn't matter HOW I set DIR_SEP. It is happy with both "/" and "\". Go figure. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
