Well actually yes I did say: > So I tried it out.. at first I created a loop that assigned $x = 1; a whole > bunch of times, but that didn¹t crash anything..

And apparently it only happens on OS X boxes as the author said in the bugg report <http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25394>.. so if you're on an OS X box then Im not sure why it works for you and every single person that has tested it on an OS X box so far it hasn¹t worked.. I would be very curious as to how you built your php on your OS X box.. and to figure out the difference.. Maybe we'll figure this thing out! :) Rick Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy. - Napolean Hill
