Description:
------------
Currently, there are too many people writing news and blogs about the "huge" PHP security hole introduce by "include" and "allow_url_fopen". This mistake is so simple to avoid, but beginners are not so informs and I think it could be simplest to disable this option (allow_url_fopen) in the default php.ini.

Sorry, but we can not simply change the default value as there might be scripts out there that rely on this; and we can not simply break them.

hmmm ... we did it with "register_globals", isn't it ?
