In PHP 5.3 this was not a problem but since we upgraded to PHP 5.4 horde will no longer startup, it just uses all the available memory until script stops. If I manually put quotes around the prefix either in the GUI or directly in the file then Horde starts fine.

Mabey there is a better way around this.

Does not say that in the instructions, it just says that its allowed which implies that you do not need too and herin lies the problem, im sure that many have not entered any expression in and now they will see a problem when they upgrade to 5.4 and nothing works, only trial and error will find the problem in the config file.
