I think you should have said "no real intelligence is needed". <RANT> Personally it's my impression that doing the simple things in PHP is as simple as you can get, it's certainly a lot simpler than Perl and a lot of programmers consider that simple to begin with. At some point, people have to bring *something* to the table. I was never too popular a fellow around the offices I worked at except when work needed to get done, I was *in*famous for giving work back to people. I knew I was doomed at a job when my boss was doing the work for the marketing people that I had already returned to marketing. Marketing wanted me to simplify a Web Trends Report. Yeah, true. :) I told them it was already as simple as it could get and if they wanted to see what it was like before that I'd be happy to show it to them. </RANT> Peter
