They seem to be part of ZEND. I found a reference to them in the zend changelog but NOWHERE else. Are there any gotchas or issues with them? Any more info or other related functions? Are there other undocumented zend functions floating around? What will it take to get these functions added to the documentation. I have long wanted the functionality provided by these functions. So I am very interested in learning more about how to use them. Eric
