## #355 — marcus.boerger@t-online.de — 2003-03-26T21:29:34+00:00

A discussion on irc (german) just reminded me of one of
my ideas for php 5:

Currently we have PHP_FE and PHP_FALIAS what about
making another one PHP_OLD_FE which handles those
names which are old that are incompatible with the naming
scheme?

We would have a new configure option: --with-incompatible-function-names
to enable those (and don't anybody make this switch shorter)

What do you guys think?
