I don't think so, because it would be better whatever new behaviour you may introduce it would be easy to adjust existing PHP scripts that remain backward compatible. >if (ifx_hasnulloption()) { > ifx_nullformat(2); >} >Or do you prefer your proposal ? That would be good enough since existing PHP scripts can call function_defined("ifx_hasnulloption") to verify if mode 2 is valid for ifx_nullformat . I would just try to use a more evident name for ifx_hasnulloption , I'll leave that for you to figure a better name. Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
