While it's unlikely to matter on a boutique site, or even on a moderately busy site, this would probably not be a Good Idea if performance is near the top of your list... I'm just guessing here -- Maybe all this is so fast it just doesn't matter. Still seems kinda icky to me compared to a simple php.ini or .htaccess change if you control the environment. Obviously, if your source is released to the world at large, and you have zero control over the environment, you're stuck with this magical un-do. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
