[Phpwiki-talk] How to keep ALL in phpwiki

[Arnaud F. <ar...@cr...>]

Silly question but ...

What setting should I use to be sure to keep all revision of all pages 
in a wiki ?

I suddenly realised that a 2 years old wiki has lost ... so many 
revisions :(

IMHO this should be the default. Most people don't have enough traffic 
to warrant throwing away revisions. If they do, then they can examine 
all the keep-revisions knobs and switches more carefully.

I believe this also. I did it.

BTW: This is just a number.
In fact it should be #7fffffff, not #77777777.

$ /usr/lib/php/bin/php.exe -an
Interactive mode enabled

<?php
print_r(0x7fffffff);
Ctrl-D
2147483647
print_r(0x7777777);
Ctrl-D
125269879

I second that - and I wonder of there should be a better way of 
expressing it, rather than just using a magic number ... perhaps 0?

I use now in fact INT32_MAX.
I don't want to use -1 because I doubt php's signed integer casting 
abilities and I don't want to add another constant.
There's only CHAR_MAX, but no M_MAXINT or similar.

0 is a bit counter-intuitive; "keep nothing".
