Once stable, i think that could be up to a debate :-) For one, if this ends up being fast enough, I think it should definitely be in the engine core. Accessing .NET/CIL will allow PHP to integrate and leverage quite a few external technologies, and will allow it to directly access *any* C library function call directly, or with a few line wrapper. But its a debate for when its more stable. -Sterling -- "The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible.
