From the php point of view there should be underscores but the pdflib api doesn't use them except for the one after the 'pdf'. The question is, shall we enforce the php naming or allow the pdflib naming. There are probably other points which need to be discussed like what a function should return if it fails. Many php functions return false but pdflib's api requires to return -1. Uwe -- Uwe.Steinmann@fernuni-hagen.de Tel: +2331 987 4528 Fax: +2331 987 375
