I'm wondering about the security implications of this. This makes it very easy to use PHP as a means to propogate all sorts of nasty things.

None the less, putting binary data in PHP scripts gives me pause. --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
