Right. In one version the behavior may be one way; in another version the behavior may change. If notice that for the version of PHP you're using the behavior seems to be consistant, you may choose to write scripts that depend upon it. However, those scripts may break when you upgrade and you shouldn't be surprised by that, nor expect any heads up warning, since you're not supposed to be depending upon it in the first place. -adam -- / adam maccabee trachtenberg | visit college life online \ \ adam@student.net | http://www.student.com /
