Does that mean Sascha is only a scholar? I thought he is a teacher at his Gymnasium at Letmathe. I looked into my Turbo Pascal books. They where printed in March 1989. At that time I only owned my second personal computer at home and was coding in Fortran IV/77 and Pascal at the University of Hohenheim (its locatation is within Stuttgart and near the airport of Leinfelden-Echterdingen). I guess, the oldest and youngest PHP contributor is located in Germany :) -Egon
