Re: flaw in php_exec_dir patch

hi venom, 

which patch are u talking .. 
well did u ever try 

http://www.google.com/search?q=php_exec_dir+site:www.php.net&l=en

there are quite a few entry which tells nothing except similar to ur post
well give a try in php-internals archive. u just get nothing. actually which 
patch are u talking about. it was never issued officially and was not  around
in the communities. you are talking about some unkown directives that was 
never intend to be used.  people often make a use of apache directives to 
allow non-safe mode to their trusted scripts, that is what i see a good 
solution for the time being. anyway if its a cool patch i am interested! give 
me some references.
