You can't do _everything_ in PHP (fopen timeouts, request and response handles are good example). Or you start overcomplicating your functions and adding tons of parameters, or you still miss some functionality. C lives well with "everything is a library" approach, and Perl does too. Also, library allows much more transparent, structured and extensible approach. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
