It would save on the creation of a temporary array, and then having pass that to the function. But then, I also think this has been to the list before, and we don't currently have named parameters, so I'm guessing it got shot down already :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.
