I'm open to being corrected :-) I wondered privately if anyone would give that very useful advice. O:) It is similar to what I told a colleague who wrote the code which triggered the bug. :) (side-note: I was kinda sympathetic to what he did - he was cutting corners in a relatively small, stand-alone project :p) Be what may be, the hard-to-debug side-effect stands as weak point of PHP design no less. -- Best regards, speedy mailto:speedy.spam@gmail.com
