AL>> I╢m really agreeing that the manual should be *most* useful and that AL>> seperation from reference/guide does not improve *usability* Sure it does. When you want to look up what is array_diff and go to ref. manual you don't want to read 5-page tutorial on how to use arrays and why you might want to use array_diff. You want to get it's parameters, short explanation and one-two examples of usage, that's it. That's the difference between reference manual and user's guide - the former just gives you a list of options, the latter really teaches you what to do with these options, in which cases and why. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
