Re: Possible feature for current version of PHP or PHP 4.1/5.0.

I am -1 on yet another new function. Because, if you create a new include_local or whatever, people are gonna want include_local_once and so on and so forth. I am alos -1 on making it an option. Do you know what a headache it is to try and write and app like Phorum and mess with a million different server setups. Brian Moon ------------------------------------------ dealnews.com, Inc.
