Description:
------------
I would like to request a short(?) modification to the path handling functions for php.ini.

Basically, I'd like to see support for ~ home directories on *nix (and others, if it pertains) for settings such as open_basedir, safe_mode_exec_dir, safe_mode_include_dir, etc. (I didn't directly try the safe_mode_* ones that I listed, but supposed that they didn't work--correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks

-Wes

We still can't use ~; your shell expands the tilde.

There's no real incentive (or need) to do this; Configuration files can use ENV vars, such that:

    include_path="${HOME}/my-includes"

Is perfectly valid, and covers your use case.

Sorry about the wait :)
