Those who are objective and have a clue about PHP's history know that a lot of the strangely named functions are due to keeping the same function name as the C/C++ function the PHP function is wrapping. Additionally, as many here know, crappy PHP is usually due to crappy programmers :) Cheers, Rob. -- ...........................................................
