In short, Zend Optimise has *nothing* at all to do with 'making dumb programmers code better' I'm afraid.

I'm not completely sure on this, and if it is true I don't have the links, but I think it does do one thing to "make your code better". That is to use pre-increments wherever possible, since the post-increment requires the parser to store the value first then increment it (or something to that effect). But even then it's really only saving you milliseconds of processing time, which would only make a beneficial improvement on an enterprise system (million-plus hits).

Sorry I should have been more explicit - I meant it won't re-write your actual source code for you, which I believe is what the OP thought it was supposed to do (if only!) Cheers, Rich

Yeah; I'm still petitioning the Team daily via cron for 'make_shopping_cart(str general_business_type);' in PHP6 .... :D KDK -- In Boston, it is illegal to hold frog-jumping contests in nightclubs.
