I appologise. I am confused now because arg_seperator... is not in the php.ini sample (php.ini_dist), but it is in http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.info.php, but it's not in http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php, But it is in the output of php.info(), Is there a *single* source of the options and their values that can be set/unset using php.ini, or http.conf? When/where these can be set? Would I be able to get this info into a matrix for everyones benefit? Something like the table at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php Thanks, DAve -- Dave Goodrich Director of Interface Development Reality Based Learning Company 9521 NE Willows Road, Suite 100 Redmond, WA 98052 Toll Free 1-877-869-6603 ext. 237 Fax (425) 558-5655 daveg@rblc.com http://www.rblc.com
