Re: [binarycloud-dev] Request Class / globalize

[Alex B. <tur...@tu...>]

Hey andi,

well, I think in thise case it's unnecessary:
If someone wants user variables registered in the user space, they can
turn on register_globals (probably using a configuration constant I'll set
up) so there's no reason to provide a globalize function.

I'd vote for ditching it.

I just forwarded a mail I got from PHPClasses called CGI.php which (though
I haven't looked at it) seems to have some nice stuff on top of what we
have, specifically parsing out "search engine friendly" urls (i.e. no
?moo=foo, /moo/foo/
