Will do. I'm currently wrapping the experimental streams stuff in a class, falling back to a user-space streams/filter implementation when the PHP 5 one isn't available. I'm currently using the oncreate() method (of my wrapper class) to transmit the parameters to the filter; I just wanted to make sure that this wouldn't bite me when I tried to slide the PHP filter implementation underneath it. Anyway, much thanks. - Dave dave@codewhore.org
