What about the first two? IIRC there was nothing done about PHP producing parse errors on <?xml and other PIs with short-tags enabled? XHTML is spreading and newbies might soon run into problems with short-tags, since these are activated on most ISPs I know of. Deactivating them via .htaccess is a little too difficult for most newbies. How about an instruction like good old "<?php_track_vars?>", which, when placed at the top of the script, would deactivate short-tags? Or is this possible via ini_set()? regards Wagner -- "Ein Mathematiker ist eine Maschine, die Kaffee in Theoreme verwandelt." Paul Erdös, Mathematiker, 1913-1996
