The following line illustrates my point exactly: $foo = addslashes(file_get_contents($bar)); When are underscores used to separate words and when aren't they? It would be much easier to remember as the language grows if it was always one or the other. Apart from that php is a great language in every respect and thanks a lot for writing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60068&edit=1
