I agree that #1 is more robust, and altogether simpler. However, I think that this will heavily affect the PHP 6 adoption rate... especially for virtual hosters. If, for example, register_globals had no PERDIR/per-vhost capability, I'd _still_ have applications that I couldn't run (... mostly from cvs.php.net). Therefore, from an end-user/sysadmin standpoint, I'd have to go with #2. S
