Interesting idea :o)

It's not a problem for me to fix it. I'm thinking about our user base.
I hate to force people to upgrade to latest versions, do additonal instal=
ls,=20
etc. just to be able to use a small app like phpwiki. So why not find a=20
common denominator -- doesn't have to be the lowest though.

> Stupid question: you *are* using php4, right?

No I'm not. I didn't need the new functionality yet.
So why upgrade? (Speed isn't an issue for me either).

This doesn't excuse deliberately complicating the install process.
Actually that user was only ignorant to php specifics.

That would require the web server having write access to wiki_config.
I don't think that this is a good idea.
