[Mapserver-users] HELP! Bug in PHP 4.3.x ???

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Thanks Dylan.

Arrrgh! You would think that they would just fix it! This has got to 
break 90-100% of the applications written in PHP. And changing every 
script ( and not forgetting some ) is a pain if not impossible.

Maybe this can get put in an auto prepend file....
