I would not be exaggerating to say that I've written over a thousand command line applications in PHP since about 2003. For a variety of reasons and uses (more and more because my wife needs something done or I'm adding more home automation stuff) I write no less than ten each week. For the majority, it's because it's easier than writing it in C and more portable than Bash --- I can write a PHP script and put it on a dozen machines at home and in the offices and it'll work the same (when written properly). No need to worry about OS or architecture. -- </Daniel P. Brown> Network Infrastructure Manager Documentation, Webmaster Teams http://www.php.net/
