Description:
------------
http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php-src/php.ini-dist?annotate=1.249#l724

m-w and google offer:
Suggestions for compatability: 
	 1. compatibility

Reproduce code:
---------------
load viewcvs of the current version of php.ini look for Compatability.

I found it a couple of times near:
http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php-src/php.ini-dist?annotate=1.249#l724

Expected result:
----------------
all lines trying to discuss compatibility should consistently spell it correclty

Actual result:
--------------
724 :     ; Compatability mode with old versions of PHP 3.0. 
725 :     ; If on, this will cause PHP to automatically assign types to results according 
726 :     ; to their Sybase type, instead of treating them all as strings.  This 
727 : iliaa 1.222 ; compatibility mode will probably not stay around forever, so try applying 
728 : jon 1.67 ; whatever necessary changes to your code, and turn it off. 
729 :     sybase.compatability_mode = Off

there's no reason not to fix the comments. note that line 727 clearly uses the correct spelling, it's OK to retain the wrong ini item value, but you can still fix the rest of them.

What would fixing comments give us? More confusion? 
No, thanks.

you are already inconsistent. There's no reason not to fix the comments and include a note "we're sorry, we goofed, this setting must remain because we published it". Otherwise you will continue to get complaints from people about the improper text sections of your files.

other systems who goof (e.g. referer) internally use the correct spelling and only use the incorrect spelling where they absolutely have to.
