Looks like it wouldn't be terribly difficult to get something like this up and running. I was just taking a look at: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-wrapper-register.php I'm kinda surprised no one has written a wrapper for strings yet... -- == Eric Gorr =============================== http://www.ericgorr.net ===
