[phplib] Why did you move away from include to auto_prepend? From: Jeff Veit (jeffveit <email protected>)

All,

As a newbie PHPLib and PHPSlash, what was the logic of doing away with
include("prepend.php3") and switching on auto_prepend?

It seems to me to me that auto_prepend assumes that PHPlib is always going
to be used if it's on a site. But this is quite a big assumption isn't it?
Aren't most sites going to have PHP scripts around that are not PHPLib
dependent?

Secondly, wouldn't it be sensible to have a naming scheme to avoid name
clashes with other applications. After all names like db_mysql.inc is not
likely to be unique. Why aren't the names prefixed with phpl_ or something
similar? Is it the same assumption at play?

Ta,

Jeff Veit
