It just presents a list of mirror sites and the user is the one that pick which they prefer. Furthermore you could not have been redirected to a mirror in Argentina because currently there is not phpclasses.org mirror there. Anyway, soon whoever is playing with redirection in php.net will give up on it because just like you demonstrated, it is a bad idea because IP databases are not accurate and always upto date. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/Manuel-- That same link http://www.phpclasses.org/mirrors.html?closest thinks I'm in Australia: Your approximate location: City: State: Country: Australia Longitude: 135° East Latitude: 25° South But I'm really in South Florida: 80° West 26.5° North!!
