I have now heard from uasers at the smf forum that some php programmes read=
=20
the settings which are from phpinfo(). If --disable-all option is set then=
=20
this is taken as a flag that php does not have sessions enabled even when i=
t=20
may have been enabled at a later stage of the build. This problem has=20
accounted for some errors on php programs. Smf fails on php5 on freebsd 5.3=
 &=20
5.4. When --disable-all option is removed one freebsd user reported that th=
e=20
bug phpbb then ran fine. I do not know whether the problem applies to all=20
configs - but it does seem to be there.=20

So I really fo think something needs to be done about this. My question is=
=20
would simply removing it from the make file cause build problems as things=
=20
now stand.
