Re: [PHP4BETA] additional headers in include and require functions

How about this: $blah [ "Author" ] = "etc name"; $blah [ "Another header" ] = "etc thingy!"; # this needs to be created register_http_header ( $blah ); include ( 'http://etc.com/abcd.php' ); $fp = fopen ( 'http://www.foo.com' , 'r' ); # assuming they both call a general php_* function to make the # http connection each socket function can check to see if a headers hash is registered. I hope they call a general function to make http connections, so it wouldn't be tough to implement. If there is a registered headers hash ...... you know what happens. :) And this won't cause any incompability either if a script already has $http_heads blah blah.
