So, we'd have PHP 5 and PHP 6, and once you'd want to support both (you couldn't afford not supporting PHP 5 for many years from now - many still support PHP 4) you have exactly the same issues. So if you don't deal with them, you'd just say "we don't run on PHP 6". Is it better than saying "we run on PHP 6 only with that specific setting"? -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
